Nueter your pets folks. Too many cats already.

[–]book_smrt 97 ポイント98 ポイント

Regardless of whether you meant "Neuter your pets, folks", "Neuter your pets' folks" or "Neuter your pet's folks", I still approve of your sentiment.

[–]FrankieZee 12 ポイント13 ポイント

You remind me of my English professor

[–]book_smrt 4 ポイント5 ポイント

Where did you say you went to school?

[–]hhhnnnnnggggggg 20 ポイント21 ポイント

Oh man. My friend lives next to this crazy cat lady. She has like 90 cats outside.

One time a kitten fell out from under her husband's truck after he got to work. Thankfully it was okay and he found it a home with one of his co-workers that day. They told the crazy lady, thinking it was awesome they found it a home. Her response? She was PISSED. That was HER cat. Why did they think they had the right to give it away?

One cat started staying on my friend's porch and they eventually started letting it go inside. Well, they got her spayed since they were feeding her and she was kinda their cat now. Crazy lady got PISSED. It's against god to do that to animals!

I hate crazy cat lady. Sad thing is no one gives a damn. Animal Control is well aware of the situation.

[–]S1ayer 5 ポイント6 ポイント

We have cats who hang out outside. About 5 or 6. We called North Shore Animal League and they had crazy requirements to take them in. ASPCA didn't want them. Not sure what you're supposed to do.

[–]hhhnnnnnggggggg -1 ポイント0 ポイント

ASPCA doesn't have a spay and release program? I thought they were good with that. We don't even have an ASPCA here.

[–]eliza3258 3 ポイント4 ポイント

They'll only do something after constant complaints. You want to change the situation talk with your other neighbors (get them to call to!) and call animal control often.

[–]hhhnnnnnggggggg 1 ポイント2 ポイント

But then all the cats will die. I'd be happier with a forced spay/neuter and release so at least they will stop breeding, but there's no such program nearby.

[–]Tramd 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Better they be taken and adopt some out than to leave them be to breed at will. Just creates more cats that will never have a home and further the problem.

[–]woolysockofdoom -1 ポイント0 ポイント

Toxoplasmosis may be affecting humans more than we think. More research needs to be conducted, but it was linked to a higher rate suicide in women.

I'll stick to dogs in the meantime.

[–]jay09cole 6 ポイント7 ポイント

*Neuter your kids folks. To many people already

[–]po0rdecision 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Thank You.

[–]bonniegallagher[S] 30 ポイント31 ポイント

He is actually my boyfriend's cat and doesn't go outside. I have tried to tell him to get him fixed, but thanks for your input.

[–]Apollonius_Cone 262 ポイント263 ポイント

He's going to regret not getting him fixed when he starts to spray to mark his territory.

[–]KingCarnivore 6 ポイント7 ポイント

My male cat is 5 years old, not fixed and doesn't spray.

[–]bonniegallagher[S] 63 ポイント64 ポイント

Yeah the little shit sprayed on my MacBook once. That's when I started threatening to take his balls to get chopped off myself. My boyfriend was not happy with my threat hahah

[–]retardedphoenix 131 ポイント132 ポイント

http://www.icatcare.org/advice/keeping-your-cat-healthy/neutering-your-cat Please get your boyfriend to neuter him. There are tons of places all over the country that will do it for free, and it's better for their long term health.

[–]bonniegallagher[S] 13 ポイント14 ポイント

I've tried many many times! There's only so much I can do

[–]eeyore134 35 ポイント36 ポイント

Might sit your boyfriend down and tell him that his cat's health and well-being is more important than his own ego and manly posturing since those things seem to be the biggest reason guys don't want their male pets neutered. There are a lot of health risks you can avoid by spaying and neutering your pets. It's reckless and inconsiderate to the animals not to. Unless you're planning on breeding there is absolutely no reason to keep them intact.

Good on you for putting the pressure on, and my apologies for making assumptions on the attitude of your boyfriend where this is concerned, but if that is the case then he needs to just grow up and do what's right for his cat and not worry about how less of a bro he feels for doing it. If it's not the case then you should probably still impress the importance to the cat's health. If he cares for it then he'll do what's right for it in the end.

[–]bonniegallagher[S] 7 ポイント8 ポイント

No need to apologize at all...I completely agree that he needs to grow up and I really am almost to the point where I am just going to take his cat myself while my boyfriend is at work.

[–]the1exile 20 ポイント21 ポイント

Don't do that.

[–]eeyore134 3 ポイント4 ポイント

That attitude, assuming once again that this is one of the forces in play here, just irks me to no end. It's usually the big tough guys with their dogs, but people from all walks of life do it with all sorts of animals. It's like they think it makes them less of a man by allowing it to happen, like it's some part of the bro code or something.

And like I said, sure it helps keep the population down (especially important with cats) and it's convenient in terms of not having to go through living with an animal that's all worked up over the local lady cat going into heat, but it avoids a lot of unnecessary health risks as well. A lot of people never even consider that. And if he really wants his cat "intact" he can get him some Neuticles.

Anyway, like I said, good on you for pushing him to do it. I would be careful carting the cat off and doing it without his permission, though. Might end up getting yourself in trouble.

[–]jay09cole 2 ポイント3 ポイント

It's his cat don't do that respect his wishes. There are no great health risks from not having them neutered

[–]jay09cole -3 ポイント-2 ポイント

Some people consider it cruel. I am one of those people. Has nothing to do with ego.

[–]eeyore134 1 ポイント2 ポイント

And some people consider it cruel not to and I am one of them. I personally think considering it cruel to get a pet fixed is very short-sighted, though I see the reasoning for it. I didn't say it had to do with ego and posturing for all people, but there are tons of guys who will say it with pride, that they aren't getting their pets fixed because it would make them less a man. These are the same people who probably wouldn't own a female dog for the same reason.

[–]jay09cole -1 ポイント0 ポイント

I see your points I just think it's unnecessary pain. Also changes the behavior in your animal and can cause depression. I understand it cane reduce chances of cancer. I just looks at it this way I don't want my balls cut off.

[–]kildis92 6 ポイント7 ポイント

Put cat in box, drive to place, snip snip, enjoy spray free cat. Seems pretty simple.

[–]deadlast 164 ポイント165 ポイント

You seem to be missing the fact that it's not really her cat, it's her boyfriend's. She is physically and financially capable of taking the cat to get it neutered. But that would require her to completely disrespect her boyfriend's ownership of the cat and her boyfriend's boundaries.

[–]c0de76 9 ポイント10 ポイント

He's also assuming they actually give a shit.

[–]wAngelo 50 ポイント51 ポイント

She needs to enforce her alphaness by getting that cat neutered and then hang his balls on her rear view mirror. Her boyfriend will cross his legs every time he thinks about his poor cats balls

[–]xXZeroXx 16 ポイント17 ポイント

[–]Obsolete386 6 ポイント7 ポイント

She'll also find most of her stuff on the curb in a box

[–]spikenick 2 ポイント3 ポイント

"She has one option... Neuter the boyfriend "

[–]kildis92 3 ポイント4 ポイント

After the cat sprays a laptop its time for a neutering.

[–]Cahnis 4 ポイント5 ポイント

She might need professional help.

[–]DevinTheGrand 13 ポイント14 ポイント

You can't just do what you want with other people's shit.

[–]SNAP_TITS2_flodouble 10 ポイント11 ポイント

Not acceptable and totally irresponsible. Do you have any respect for other's property?

[–]Banjo-Daxter 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Or she could be a decent human being?

[–]Roosterrr 1 ポイント2 ポイント

It isn't her cat.

[–]enera 0 ポイント1 ポイント

If the cat already sprays neutering him now will not stop the habit. Balls or not he's gonna spray for ever now...

[–]DodoWithAFro 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Then how will you cheese?

[–]dinoroo 1 ポイント2 ポイント

If you wait too long, they never stop spraying.

[–]ReWireYourBrain -1 ポイント0 ポイント

then boyfriend

Put's girlfriend in trunk, drives to lake, and wraps body in weights.

[–]kralrick 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Just tell the mob your boyfriend's reddit username...

[–]mrstickball 0 ポイント1 ポイント

You can use your teeth when neither he nor the cat are looking.

[–]joojie 0 ポイント1 ポイント

His urine won't smell god awful anymore after he's neutered. It'll smell like urine still, but not that ungodly, strong, nauseating smell. I can't imagine your house smells very good with that guy peeing in a box (even if you clean it immediately after he goes)

[–]markuspoop 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Withhold sex.

[–]BigBiker05 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Know of any free ones for dogs? They all seem to want $80 around here. And that's for a small dog. Large dogs are several hundred.

[–]liberterrorism 9 ポイント10 ポイント

I hope you like the smell of cat piss, because it's going to be all over your boyfriends apartment if he doesn't take care of that soon.

[–]semi-lucid_comment 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Little squirt

[–]reddsheep 0 ポイント1 ポイント

I read that as you threatening to chop your boyfriends balls off.

[–]kipjak3rd 0 ポイント1 ポイント

dude you wanna cheese?

[–]Cylon_Toast 27 ポイント28 ポイント

Even though he doesn't get let outside you'd be surprised at what lengths cats will to to get laid.

My mom's friend has two indoor female cats who weren't spayed. One day a male cat came down the chimney and impregnated them both.

Please convince your boyfriend to get him neutered.

[–]bonniegallagher[S] 11 ポイント12 ポイント

You guys! I try to convince him. I've tried and tried and tried....I can't control my boyfriend. Maybe you all should form a mob, I'll give you his address, and you can just go to his house and convince him yourselves? An angry mob will probably be more convincing than a 21-year-old girl

[–]Oxford_karma 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Tell these people to fuck off. It's your boyfriend's cat and he can do what he wants.

[–]Cylon_Toast 5 ポイント6 ポイント

I'm a 22 year old girl and I'm pretty convincing. XD

[–]POTATO_ANAL_ETC 3 ポイント4 ポイント

u single bb? hmu on kik ;)

[–]w00kiee 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Do you like potatoes, anal and things?

[–]EABOD_and_DIAF 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Doesn't your entire house smell like cat piss? Un-neutered males are notorious for marking their territory, and if he never goes outside, he'll do it inside. :/

ETA: Never mind. I see further down the thread where you say he doesn't spray. Hope it keeps up or your boyf changes his mind.

[–]bonniegallagher[S] -1 ポイント0 ポイント

I'm just hoping for him to change his mind...I haven't talked about it with him min a month or two, so I think it's time to bring it up again

[–]TehGogglesDoNothing 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Do you want to get banned from reddit? Because that's how you get banned from reddit.

[–]98thRedBalloon -1 ポイント0 ポイント

What's his reasoning? Why doesn't he want to get it done? Show him pictures of the aftermath of a kill shelter and see how he feels.

[–]feefiefofum 4 ポイント5 ポイント

You can thank Bob Barker.

[–]Yarbinger 7 ポイント8 ポイント

Why does your boyfriend not want to get him neutered? That's very strange.

[–]astazangasta 3 ポイント4 ポイント

One day he will go outside when he smells a female in heat, and he might not come back. Male cats will go a long ways to get laid. Get him neutered now before he runs away.

[–]FlawedHero 0 ポイント1 ポイント

The only reason your boyfriend could have for not getting his cat's balls removed is if he enjoys playing with them himself.

Maybe take that angle with him.

[–]geoflause88 0 ポイント1 ポイント

I believe you're mistaken and the man is your boyfriends cat.

[–]twwwy 0 ポイント1 ポイント

[–]Turdsworth -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

Cat's escape. Dump him. He's irresponsible.

[–]Needle_N_Thread 0 ポイント1 ポイント

I didn't read anywhere about the fact that when he smells a female in heat not only will he spray more but he is going to do all he can to run away. You might want to mention that to your boyfriend. He's risking losing his cat to the desire of kitty sexy times.

[–]jawnofthedead -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

But the title says it's your cat, I'm confused

[–]bonniegallagher[S] -5 ポイント-4 ポイント

I live with my boyfriend, so I consider him my cat. my bad

[–]NatFuts 2 ポイント3 ポイント

So get him neutered

[–]uhhhclem -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

A guy who won't neuter his cat probably won't vaccinate his kids either.

[–]readzalot1 0 ポイント1 ポイント

But likely will get his baby boy circumcised.

[–]l_l_troll_j -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

Sorry, but your boyfriend sounds like a douchebag.

[–]Pinoth 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Pretty weird and standoffish to just say that about someones cat...

[–]Tell-Tale-Tart 0 ポイント1 ポイント

The spraying would be awful! That smell is something that never leaves! We always spay and neuter but I have been to homes that don't and the odor hits you like a brick once you walk in the door.
