Let your cat have a litter? There are thousands of cats and kittens available for adoption in shelters – the ones that don’t get homes will be euthanized. Please don’t let more kittens be born – there are not enough good homes for all of them. If you get homes for your kittens, you will take away the chance of a cat or kitten in a shelter getting a home. Not to mention the expense of taking those kittens to the vet for shots, etc.

Hello, Wade!

8 cats sounds like a BIG responsibility! But I’m sure it’s incredibly rewarding to always have some little friend around who is ready for purring and petting. We actually have two cats, but they are pretty good about taking turns and sharing, so this hasn’t been too difficult for us. Still, 8 might be tough! Enjoy the kitty snuggles 🙂

Looks like a simple but neat idea. But easier for you than for me and my wife, as you only have ONE cat. Our cats (8) have their own “in/out zone door. I’m not big on holding a door open while a cats mind grinds saw dust figuring out, in, out, in, out. Right after we married 35 years ago we got two cats. Our peak was 10 a year ago, and me might go over that soon as we’ve only allowed two females to give birth at the same time back in 1982. They came into labor together and shared their litters. We might let one cat that’s not spayed yet to have one littler before spaying. What ever the $$ costs have been over the past 35 years sure have been worth it, but I’m glad I don’t know what the $$ costs were.

Hi, Jeri! Glad to know you liked our idea. I’m sure Chucky would love it, too! I hope your son has fun if he decides to give it a try!
