February: Spay & Neuter Month
For several years, the last Tuesday in February has been designated by the Doris Day Animal League as 1 "Spay Day U.S.A," and February has been chosen as Spay and Neuter Month by countless humane societies and animal advocacy groups. but events and activities take place throughout the month of February
Do you think it would be a good idea if it was taken up in the country?
As we all know some of the reasons for neutering /spaying are:-
· Cats can start mating as early as six months
· Even indoor-only house cats often find ways to get outdoors when the sexual urge hits them. Whether they disappear for good (due to panic, accidents, or enemies) or they return home, kittens are the result.
· An unneutered male cat can father hundreds of kittens a year.
· Statistically speaking, even if a person finds good homes for a litter of kittens, some of the kittens will grow up and produce litters of kittens.
· Spaying a female before her first heat protects her from risks of uterine, ovarian, and mammary cancers.
· Spaying also protects her from the stresses of pregnancy.
· Spaying reduces her frantic interest in the outdoors and reduces the chances that she'll wander far.
· Spaying reduces the chances she'll mark your home with urine when she's in heat.
· Unneutered cats have urges that make them irritable and anxious. They yowl or whine frequently, fight with other cats, and/or destroy objects in the house.
· Neutering a male reduces his risk from numerous health problems.
· Neutering lowers his urge to roam and to fight, and thus lowers chances of disease transmission and wounding.
· Neutering also reduces his tendency to spray in the home.
Cats are 45 times as prolific, and dogs 15 times as prolific, as humans.
