Neuter Your Cat or This Can Happen

Neutering, from the Latin neŭter (of neither type), is the removal of an animal’s reproductive organ, either all of it or a considerably large part of it. It is the most drastic surgical procedure with sterilizing purposes. The process is also referred to as castration for males and as spaying for females. Colloquially, it is often referred to as fixing. In male horses, the process is referred to as gelding.

Unlike in humans, neutering is the most common sterilizing method in animals. While many agree on the advantages of neutering as a method of birth control, the necessity and humanity of this method (as opposed to alternative methods of birth control) and the political agendas within the debate are a subject of some controversy. In the USA, most humane societies, animal shelters, and rescue groups (not to mention numerous commercial entities) urge pet owners to have their pets “spayed or neutered” to prevent the births of unwanted litters, contributing to the overpopulation of animals. In Europe, the procedure is less commonly performed, especially in dogs.

I didn’t want to neuter my cat and this is what happened:

My cat named Veve gave birth to 5 beautiful kittens but unfortunately 4 of them died within the first day.
Only one survived and her eyes already started to come out as you can see.

Anyway I’m happy although not all 5 kittens managed to live. I hope their happy where they are right now.
