From your post: Must be how I wound up with 5 kids.

What’s the weather forecast? Let’s ask the hippy, dippy weatherman, Algore!!!
“We’re all going to die, die - I tell you. Throw away the keys to your internal combustion engines. Walk to the grocery store; better yet, raise some cows in your back yard, no, wait, plant a garden...can’t kill animules. Destroy your PC, unscrew all your lightbulbs - use candles. Don’t turn on your heating or air conditioning units because you’re killing us!!!
Auughhhhh!
Wait, I have to run to the airport to catch my private jet plane to go to Greenland and join up with the Dear Leader.
Ciao.

This is an inadequately rigorous explanation of the phenomenon.
My research has conclusively shown there are more cats because there are more mice. There are more mice because there is more cheese to eat. And everyone knows that the reason there is more cheese is that there are more cows to produce it. Finally, the more cows there are, the more methane they vent, which is a cause of global warming.

Global warming caused my cat to put a run in my hose.

I just returned from a trip to Joisey to see my Grand Kids.
Joisey has a strange infestation. It seems that the Canadain Geese are staying and not returning to Canada. Global Warming?? I don't think so!
We need to send these cats to Joisey to take care of the Geese. 'Course there are those pesky bears and other low lifes that are rampaging.
Bada Bing!

- Cyclicity of the cat has been determined to be dependent on photoperiod.
- Cats are "long day breeders" and require 12 hours or more of light to maintain normal cyclicity.
- Normal polyestrous behavior can be induced by controlling exposure to light.
- Cyclicity stopped abruptly and folliculogenesis was inhibited in queens exposed to less than 8 hours of light.
- Cyclicity in the cats resumed an average of 16 days after returning to a 14 hour photoperiod.
- Seasonality is more pronounced in cats subjected to natural lighting especially at higher latitudes.
- Long haired breeds tend to be more seasonal than short-haired breeds, with 90% of long-haired cats experiencing a period of anestrus compared to only 39% of short-haired cats.
- In an extensive survey of 168 queens, approximately 50% of cats cycled year-round while the remainder experienced a period of anestrus from September to the end of January.
More daylight in Spring means more kittens are on their way by summer.
