We’ve already interfered. Domesticated dogs and cats mate more often and have larger litters than their wild ancestors, but cannot survive well on their own.
No, that’s caused by overfeeding and lack of exercise. Spayed or neutered pets require fewer calories. Cut down on their meals, and make time for walks or play.
But how do those pets get pregnant? A male pet can easily father 750 offspring in his lifetime. (And if he gets into a neighbor’s yard and mates with the “wrong” female, her owner could sue.)
Not so! His instinct to “defend his turf” won’t be affected. And he’ll be less likely to wander off.
But will they? Many pets hide when giving birth. And even if you find good homes for the litter, you may deny homes to animals already born
Having a litter won’t improve an animal’s health or permanently change her personality – although she may be tired and irritable while nursing.
They’re cheaper in the long run than caring for the litters! Financial assistance may be available. License fees are often less for spayed or neutered pets.
