      People are allowed to own pets without knowing anything at all about responsible pet ownership. It’s ficked up.

      You can’t get them fixed before a certain age and that cat might have threaded the needle. A friend of mine adopted a stray that turned out to be pregnant.

      Yeah this doesn’t make sense to me. It does get expensive. My sister only neuters the males since it’s cheaper. Only flaw is if one gets out…

        Your sister isn’t doing her female cats a favour.

        Neutered cats statistically live longer and healthier lives. Fertile animals have health risks. Unless you actually intent to breed your cats, there is no reason to leave them unfixed.

        If you can’t afford it, don’t get a cat. It’s like adopting a pet without first figuring out whether you can even buy the food to keep it alive.

          Yep. I completely agree. It’s not fair to them either when they go into heat.

      I adopted an cat early this year, I wasn’t planning to stay with her but within 1 month she got pregnant.

        What do you mean you adopted a cat and wasn’t planning to stay with her?

          My sister found her, my family was not so sure but my sister argued with the idea: the cat stay with us until we find someone else to adopt. The cat won everyone heart in the end, when we got her to the vet to take some medicines we found out that she was pregnant.
