World Spay Day: Animal charity urges pet neutering as kitten numbers continue to rise

I strongly support spaying and neutering pets, a basic principle for responsible pet ownership. Also, finding pets among those in shelters is a humane alternative to what they otherwise experienced in their lives, and, in my experience, a great way to fill a hole in one’s heart with a cat or dog. While kittens or puppies are a lot of fun, adult animals are harder to place, yet may be a better match for you if you have little experience with kittens or puppies. Believe me, when you go to a shelter, the animals choose you, so watch for the signs they want you to take them home!

Post 1321: Andy’s a good kitty!

Andy can rip your heart out with his “Big Persian Kitty Eyes of Terror-Filled Resignation” that he puts on when he knows he’s about to get his daily dose of medicine.

=(^+^)=

Here’s some examples from the past of that heart-wrenching kitty response to getting mentally prepared for his medicine. Andy is in my arms, and his naughty brother Dougy is on the counter in the background:

Yeah, then total submission, though sometimes it requires swaddling him in a towel.

Of course, he always gets kitty treats afterwards, his reward for (usually) being a very good kitty during the ordeal.

Yes, Andy kind of likes medicine time. Maybe. Well, after I put out the treats!
