Many of you are aware of the high numbers of cats and kittens that end up in shelters, and spay and neuter is recommended to help control the pet 
population. Teresa Harrison-Best, founder of catawall.com, is a poet we feature occasionally on our site. She recently submitted this cat poem via Facebook about spay and neuter:
Snip and Chip
Don’t wait for little pattering paws,
get kitty done today.
Head off to your local vets,
for a neuter or a spay.
Ignoring this is no excuse,
the shelters will concur.
They’re bursting at the seams with cats,
as other’s did defer.
If left intact a female cat,
can mother many kits.
Twelve a year could be the norm,
so come on use your wits.
If money’s tight then ask for help,
the experts can assist.
Cats all need to have the snip,
so please do not desist!
