The issue of cats making more cats is something that comes around time and again. It is why TNR programs are so important and why there is a decent amount of awareness on the subject. But that awareness and care is usually made exclusive to house cats. And while that is helpful, anyone who has seen a cat feeding corner on the street will tell you that indoor cats make up a tiny minority of the feline population and there are more than enough out there who are not getting help.

And while this issue is usually exclusively a feral cat problem, it can quickly become an indoor cat problem if you do not spay your cat and decide they ought to be out in the wild when on heat. Which sadly is how this story went down. For whatever unexplained reason this cat's original pawrent figured it would be best for her to be left unneutered and outdoors to 'sow her wild oats'. Only that is not really how it works out there.

Any pawrent worth their salt can tell you that cats are crazy, unhinged and that for the most part it is better that cats do not interact socially as it often ends up like an aggressive version of Geordie Shore. So that is what this poor indoor catto was left to handle on her own. Until one fateful day a helpful hooman happened to come along and change everything about this cat's life for the better.

    Needless to say she's off to the vets tomorrow to be spayed and chipped. It's kitten season here in France and the amount of free kittens I see on local pages is crazy.

  • Aww, sweet Yaya! What a lucky kitten to have so many people take part in caring just for her. As this hooman stated, there are tens if not hundreds of kittens popping up all over the place and so many who never get a chance to enjoy life to the fullest. So it is truly extra special that Yaya has a whole community of cat lovers to keep her safe from the fearsome fate that would have otherwise been waiting for her.

    So Yaya got spayed today, the vet found the microchip my reader didn't initially find-she's actually registered with a cat rescue in the area.

  • No, nu-uh, this is just horrifying. In what world is this a normal thing to do? You do not need a qualification in math to know that if you let one cat breed and create up to 10 more cats and those cats go and make 10 more, you have 100 cats on your hands within the span of 20 months. That is an unmanageable number and one that will only continue to grow if left unchecked by hoomans who are more concerned with not having a cat in heat in their home.

    Yaya was sleeping under the bins and on the waste pile near our car park. She isn't even a kitten - she was born in '23 and had first been bought into
