How did they get to the point to where it’s hard to find kitties?
I really don’t know. I remember years ago, cats were a dime a dozen. If you think about it, nowadays you don’t see a cat anywhere in the neighborhoods. They all stay indoors now. I rarely saw a cat in suburbia. You used to see ads in the paper all the time.....free kittens to good homes. Not any longer.
I suspect the push to spay your animals has come to fruition. After all, that’s how you got litters of kittens.....an animal not spayed, who was let out of the house regularly.
Now if you want a cat, you have to apply, pay to have it neutered, pay to adopt it, and sign in blood that you’ll practically treat it like royalty. I like pets, but we’ve gone a little overboard the other way, IMHO.
