Increased Cat Populations

Posted by Charla Dawson Jun 10, 2007

An article for Live Science, written by Andrea Thompson, blames global warming for increases in nation wide cat populations.

Many shelters across the nation are reporting increased intake numbers of cats and kittens. According to the article the cause of the increased cat numbers is a prolonged breeding season due to rising temperatures. Cats usually breed during the Spring and Summer with global warming they have become year round breeders says Kathy Warnick, President of Pets Across a America, a national adoption organization.

A solution to this problem is to spay and neuter all pets. The importance of spay and neuter can not be underestimated. This is the only humane solution that we have to date. Global warming is a highly and sometimes hotly debated subject. If you don't agree with the global warming crowd perhaps you can at least agree with the need to spay and neuter all pets. If you want to breed your pet then spay or neuter after having the litter. If you have already spayed or neutered your pet then sponsor the spay or neuter of a shelter animal or the pet of someone who is financially unable to have the surgery done themselves.

I like to eat when it's hot, I wonder if I can blame my increased jeans size on global warming? To top it off can I sue the environment or SUV owners (since they are to blame for global warming) for my increased weight? Just a thought.
