Everything your cat would rather be than a parent
Guess who's not throwing a gender reveal anytime soon? Your desexed cat who is currently living their best life!
Desexing = saving lives ✂️ 🍒
Tom cats are quite the passionate lovers. A single male cat can mate multiple times a month or multiple times a day! 😱 This means an undesexed Romeo on the streets could lead to an explosion of kittens that may end up in shelters without a proper home.
Desexing your male cat can:
👉 improve quality of life
👉 reduce spraying (and the pungent smell of urine around your house)
👉 and decrease the risk of diseases such as testicular cancer.
Desexing is important for the ladies as well! Female cats can produce up to 180 kittens in their lifetime. That is a lot of kids, folks.
When in ‘heat’, an undesexed female cat may present aggressive behaviour or be extra vocal to attract male cats. Desexing doesn’t just prevent nuisance behaviour and unwanted litters, but can also save your cat from a risky pregnancy and keep her healthy. Read more about desexing cats.
So put a pin in all the kitten talk because your cat would rather:
Be an explorer like Boogie: Once little Boogie was ready to explore the vast outdoors with his humans, there was no looking back. Equipped with a leash, a harness, and a backpack carrier, Boogie’s travels are giving us FOMO.
Get promoted to boss of the house like Myer: It wasn’t long after being adopted that Myer decided to take over leadership from the humans and sit on the throne. Now, this kitty spends his days being the boss.
Play fetch with their owner’s things like Oliver: If it’s tangible and throwable, 👏Oliver👏 will👏fetch👏. Oliver’s haul to date has included nerf bullets, beauty blenders, worm toys, his fishing rod feather toy and rubber bands.
…Or even hang out with a DOG like Sven: Here's a cat who would rather spend time with a *cough* dog *cough* than be a parent. Sven is the poster boy as he has his dog brother, Benji, wrapped around his lil paws. 😍
There are 3,493 cats on PetRescue right now who are snipped and ready to bring lots of love to your life. Adopt a snuggly feline today.
