The spaying of your cat is a very good suggestion-it will most likely
change this type of behavior.As a member of an S.P.C.A., I can also
vouch for the fact of millions of unwanted cats and kittens already
existing.Even if you found homes for all in your litter, that would
be that many less possible homes for feline shelter residents.
