>3 year old cat never been outside
>ran off 2 months ago and came back pregnant two weeks later
>decide to play kitten sounds to her just for shits and giggles
>starts meowing at me and rubbing her head against my hand, now won't leave me alone and has spent the whole day checking up on me/sitting on me, also shedding a lot of hair
Unironically what did she mean by this?
She's very caring and clingy by the way, follows me around everywhere, every time I raise my voice she comes to check on me and seems to get really scared if I appear dead and sniffs me under the nose if I don't move while in bed but this is just too much even for her. Is it just her instincts or?
definitely a retard for not fixing your cat fast enough, but I was the same retard too so i'll help you as best I can.
>she's probably going to be giving birth pretty soon.
not a whole lot of help you can do there besides maybe clipping an umbilical cord if she's too exhausted to chew it off herself.
Google will tell you how to care for newborn kittens. Don't bother trying to move them from where momma decides they need to go. She'll just move them back. So its pretty important to find spots and just keep some old towels/shirts laid out just in case. keep whatever blanket she's found rotated out with fresh ones and clean or else you might have a kitten getting an eye infection or something from rolling around in their own pee and poo all day.
Keep momma fed and hydrated as best as you can and check to make sure all her kittens are latched and getting fed. The big kittens will push the runts off but you can pretty easily keep them all latched as long as you keep a watchful eye on them.
She'll get annoyed at the boys after a while and might try to run them off. It's pretty scary watching momma cat getting violent with her babies but it might happen. Do your best to make sure you have homes for these kittens to go to before they are actually ready to go. Clean your fucking house and get ready for guests to see the babies after a couple weeks. It's good to get them socialized early and generally, the younger a little kitten is, the easier it is to get them to go to loving homes. You do not want to take them into a shelter if at all possible.
Something like 1 in 5 kittens don't make it, but with such a small litter you might luck out. Just make sure they are all warm and they are all eating.
>adopt cat
>always stays in the backyard and never goes out in the streets
>can stay alone for 3 days as long as neighbors feed it
damn i love my cat
Your cat sounds based
>cat came back pregnant
Why didn't you fix your cat retard?
You should be fined for animal abuse
>Cats are severely overpopulated to the point that people are feeding and caring for entire colonies of ferals and catborne rabies is actually on the radar. No cats should be born except from breeders maintaining good domestic bloodlines until we solve this.
>Shelters are jam packed with cats and cats make up the majority of animals euthanized.
>Many cats make terrible pets because they're accidentally bred from semi-feral animals that have partially undomesticated themselves, which makes them more aggressive, dirty, and antisocial, harming the reputation of cats.
I don't care if you let your cat outside as long as you can keep it out of the road and other people's lawns. Fix your fucking cats. Most of those kittens will be euthanized as adults.
dont care, having babies as a female is the greatest pleasure in life for them
they aren't smart enough to be aware of it. once spayed the urge goes away.
yes, they were, for quite a long time.

This. I think these guys take that away from them so they don't need to deal with the responsibility of actually owning a normal cat/dog.
Intact cats belong outside
But having cats outside results in their early, painful death
And the only right thing to do with all the kittens is gas them
So do you want a neutered cat, or a mercy kill for the entire species?
you could also keep it in a cage. like a rat.
justice for my rodent brothers
Cats are free to be themselves outdoors.
>cats are free to be themselves outside! neutering is wrong!
>cats overpopulate, form a colony
>start dying to disease and predation
>overpopulation forces cats to enter yards with dogs, cats get killed, dogs get temporarily sick from worms
>cats enter the territory of actual pet cats
>cats get into fights, kill each other, give eachother diseases
>cat shit is in every patch of dirt
>every other corner smells like cat piss
>many feral cats have rabies as volunteers can not take care of every feralanimal
>bird population in town practically vanishes, most of the birds were fat and blind to danger and were easy prey to the cats
>rat population remains steady, but may have gotten sneakier to avoid cats
>coyotes enter town because cats are fully domesticated and incompetent at survival in the wild, and therefore easy prey
>now you have coyotes. and rabid coyotes, on top of all your problem cats
>rabid feral cats also spreading rabies to raccoons, skunks, etc
>welcome to 20th century america
>bob barker begs you to spay and neuter your pets
>mass animal control push because of the public safety and environmental disaster
>millions of cats and kittens gassed in crude co2 chambers because there's too many of them
We have been through this before. Being a bleeding heart liberal gay over cat nuts causes constant death and destruction. Cats are not dogs, they can not learn to live with their instincts if they have a good owner. They just become aggressive, obnoxious vermin that breed like rabbits. The cats are happier neutered and kept indoors.
I believe we also went over this with leashing dogs. Bleeding heart gays said durr that's slavery and then a pack of semi-wild german shepherds ate all their kids.
I'm a good cat owner. My intact cat is always on a leash and never goes outside without one. :^)
What I said is still true, no matter what.
If there are too many cats and bird populations are falling significantly, ban further adoption of cats for a time.
If you live rural, you could have a normal cat run free outside with no problems. It might get worms after a while but they can be dealt with pretty easily by putting an antiworm agent into some wet food like tuna fish or something. Worms don't actually impact the cat physically from what I've seen, in terms of fitness and behaviour.
I'm more of a dog guy anyway but my family has cats, so they are family.
>Many cats make terrible pets because they're accidentally bred from semi-feral animals that have partially undomesticated themselves
Cats were never fully domestic
>Shelters are jam packed with cats and cats make up the majority of animals euthanized.
source?
>fix your cat retard?
>fined for animal abuse
You mean mutilating another being and letting it live with the pain and loss is the opposite of animal abuse?
Unironically people who does this to their pet should be required to get one first themselves.
my cats are fixed and they don't give a flying fuck
they're probably not even smart enough to remember it happening
animals are not as smart as humans
>yeah it only totally changes their behavior but it definitely doesn't affect them at all.
Yeah, it makes them behave better. They never try to sneak out the house, they aren't nearly as territorial, the boy doesn't piss in random places, the girl doesn't shove her ass in everyone's face during what would be heat, neither of them have to deal with the frustrations of having a sex drive and they're so stupid they know none the wiser. seethe
Yes it changes their behavior because their sex hormones are gone
They aren't so smart they lament the loss of it. Maybe a clever dog would be sad and uncomfortable for like a day, but again cats are not large dogs. Large dogs are several orders of magnitude smarter, and their bodies are under more stress so having sex hormones for most of their life can be beneficial to them and their higher intelligence allows them to learn to moderate their behavior. With cats and small stupid yapping dogs sex hormones just make them more obnoxious and aggressive and they do absolutely nothing to make their small bodies any healthier. They're also so much dumber any chance of them caring is nil.
If you do not have a single large dog and a lot of time and effort to dedicate to it, spay and neuter. Theoretically if we owned big cats as pets this would apply to them as well, because neutered tigers would have more hip injuries and fear aggression or something. There's really no argument against this.
With that logic we should castrate retards on principle.
Correct.
And?
Animals arent people and you can't equate them you stupid cunt.
Neither is anyone with an IQ under 95. Otherwise might as well say dogs and parrots are people.
kys retard
>t. IQ 94
Cats are not smart enough to give a fuck about neutering. Cats don't even experience any negative health effects from neutering and the surgical risk for them is very low. Small animals are hardy. Are you a large dog fag? Because not all animals are like large dogs and get 7 weird untreatable cancers, a joint disorder, and a mental disorder if you neuter them. Small dogs and cats are actually much healthier for it.
Based, catfags itt will cope but wont show a single counter argument
Counter argument:
I am human, and you're clearly not.
>not damaging the animal
>animal abuse
Behold, domesticated man. Even in the worst case scenario, it is better to be killed than not be born at all. You can castrate your cat, but you do so purely for your own convenience. The fact you're using a newspeak euphemism like "fix", implying there is something broken that needs to be repaired, is telling: wholeness is deficiency, infertility is health.
pretentious toxobrained retard
I say this as a cat owner who recognizes toxo is a meme if you're a responsible cat owner
you are literally toxobrained
You are the bitch of your cats
Yes cats are indeed broken to begin with. Domestication was half assed and they are poorly suited to being pets unless caged due to their low intelligence. Neutering solves all problems here.
cats were never domesticated, they're wild animals that live in our houses.
>bro cats aren't domesticated
ok go pick up an african black footed cat and tell me how it goes. just because it is a stupid, obnoxious, and nearly asocial animal does not mean it has not been domesticated. it merely means that there was so little brain there to begin with that the shrinkage associated with domestication made it impossibly retarded. cats are no more wild than pointy eared dogs which are also quite a bit dumber than their wolf kin. for example two wolves can figure out that if a rope is attached to two poles on a platform, they need to pull it in unison to drag the platform out to obtain the food on it. dogs can not do this. and now, lo and behold
A CUTE RETARD
yeah try picking up a feral cat and see what happens, dumbass.
How the fuck do you think people adopt cats? Give the shelter all 80 references and a dick picture?
Try picking up a feral dog too. If it’s not some ultra friendly disloyal gay like a husky or has been mistreated at all you’ll lose fingers.
The only people I will somewhat respect who say this crap is the person that does it themselves.
I bet if that was the case they would be incapable. Instead they rely on drugs and someone else to do it.
If you're worried about "cat population" then don't get a cat. Don't get a cat then mutilate it. Well, that's my stance anyway.
Just keep the cats? I let my cat get pregnant and now I have 6 fully grown well groomed neutered cats.
Not everywhere is an irrelevant third world shithole like America. In my country it's very difficult to adopt a cat because the numbers are so low
You don't even understand what "third world" even means, kek.
I bet you are fucking biologist. You are shit and should be put down, not cats.
Retarded animal, retarded owner.
Care to extrapolate?
This sentence doesn't make sense here, I think the word "elaborate" would work better here.
