Some people may say that depriving cats of their right to give birth is cruel, but I want to ask back: Is it more cruel to have breeding kittens that have no one to take care of? If that's not enough to convince you, let's see what the consequences of letting cats have.
Unlike humans, cats' conception rate is almost 100% successful. Because cats mated first and then ovulated, if a male cat stayed with a female cat during estrus, the final result would inevitably be to give birth to a litter of kittens. OK, then we can say that we are happy and have a new little life! Let's have fun, let's see the number of kittens. Generally, cats have at least three to five, or even more than seven cats at extremes! If you have a female cat at home, if you add three babies at once, then after six months, you will find that the room has become smaller because there are four adult cats running and playing. After breastfeeding for two months, the female cat will be in heat again and will escape to mating for the male cat. At this time, if you lock it at home, you will howl day and night until the nerves in the owner’s neighbor collapse.
In addition, don't ignore the kittens, they will start to estrus after they grow to six months, and cats are human-free ethics and morals, siblings and even parents and children. When in heat, all cats to be mated will become mating objects to alleviate their "fertility"!
You can imagine another possibility, which is to give birth to three kittens and send them to your friends after the month of feeding them. Suppose there will be three families of relatives and friends who accept cats and are willing to raise cats. The three kittens breeding of female cats also seem to have a good home, but can you guarantee that these kittens will be willing to sterilize them until six months after they grow up? If they also have the same mentality and think that sterilizing a cat is cruel, so they should give birth and give it to someone after giving birth? This is not something you can monitor. The amazing fertility of a cat will grow more and more with your decision not to sterilize. What will happen when one day you find that no one is willing to accept the cat at hand, and all relatives and friends are saturated with cat mouth ? Perhaps, the streets are their only way out...
Maybe some people think that since this is the case, I won’t let it go out to mating when it is in heat. However, living examples have shown that frequent estrus and failure to get mating can lead to problems such as urinary occlusion, testicle tumors, prostate hypertrophy, etc. Female cats can cause ovarian cysts, uterine pus, breast tumors, ovarian tumors, , uterine fibroids and other problems. These will endanger the lives of cats. Besides, can you tolerate cats' emotional irritability, howling all day long, drowning everywhere, and destroying furniture caused by estrus?
In China, stray cats usually have only two or three years of life, but in these two or three years they have no place to settle down, have no food, and are often threatened by various life. Even so, they will continue to breed more small lives to suffer in this world. So we hope that every cat owner can start with himself, so that his cat can become the source of eliminating stray cats first, and not let more innocent little lives come to this world to suffer.
