I think that the idea of spaying or castrating an animal that you consider to be a friend to be barbaric. (About on the same level as farming animals for food - although I have trouble reconciling this principle with my love of a nice juicy steak - ho hum - on with the post.)
What I am thinking
of is an injection that you give Tibbles every six or so months that prevents the neighbourhood being populated by small versions of your favourite pet.
I'm sure this must be baked but all I can find is an injection that permanently sterilises cats and the recurring phrase, "there is no contraceptive for oral use on mice."
Can anybody contribute or bake this for me?
Injectable feline contraceptives.

But it also says 'Not a Substitute for Surgical Spaying in Owned Cats. None of these immunocontraceptive vaccines are expected to be a substitute for surgical spaying of owned female cats. Why? Because they do not stop ovulation, nor the attendant frustrated behavior of female cats in heat. Furthermore, surgical spaying helps prevents ovarian cancer and mammary tumors.'

You mean to say that this isn't an idea for a condom that you can take for walkies? |
|
| |
I think most pets would rather have one surgery than a lifetime of injections. Plus most pet owners aren't responsible enough to follow through on an injection method. Getting pets spayed or neutered is not nearly as barbaric as allowing them to reproduce unchecked, creating the huge populations of unwanted strays we now have. |
|
| |
When would a cat keep a condom.... they don't have any pockets. |
|
| |
Since neutering does cause behavior changes in the animal (some favorable, some not), how about vasectomies? |
|
| |
Kitty condoms can be in the kitty condos |
|
| |
Why not just put a condom on your dog when ever he gets a boner. |

I am all for this idea.
I have had a week of hell and still 4 days to go. Bob and
his mum - Misty, visited the vets last week for 'sorting
out'. I feel awful subjecting them to this ordeal. Neither
can go out until Friday. Bob has licked his parts non-stop,
and Misty has a cone on her head to stop her pulling out
the stitches, but can hardly eat or drink and walks
backwards hugging the walls whilst trying to scratch the
thing off. |
|
| |
I was thinking of posting an idea as an alternative to the
cone. I am sure there must be a better solution to this
surgery.?? |
|

Are you one of those P.E.T.A freaks, st3f? |
|
| |
Neutering does actually cause a lot of medical problems in both males and females, so you can't really justify it by saying that it prevents certain problems (check oyt http://www.freewebs.com?socitey_against_neutering for the full details). |

Link for you. sorry go fish |
|
| |
I always wanted to be able to get a vasectomy for my tom cats....... |
|
| |
is the //link form around TUIT//'s neck? bit worrying that. |
|
| |
[TUIT], your link is interesting input but
not the same as [st3f]'s idea. Bone if
you wish but your justification is empty.
We use a contraceptive with our dog;
it's called a "leash." |
