The Cat's Meow

Forget about global warming and pollution. Move over war and terrorism. Put aside rising fuel and food costs. Prepare to meet the America's greatest threat; Felis Catus, the domestic cat. Veterinary medicine researchers say that streets could soon be overrun with cats if we do not get a handle on growing feline populations. It is estimated that there are 88 million cats in our Country, that's about one cat for every 3.5 Americans. I am not awash with panic over the growing cat problem, but is is a tragedy that about 5 million cats are euthanized each year. The research also indicates that part of the problem is the multitude of people who feed stray cats. While this may be true, it is in our nature to be kind to small cuddly creatures. We may not kind to each other, but who does not love a cute little kitty-cat? Researchers agree that the answer is to spay/neuter our cats as the best way to control the population. I guess Bob Barker had it right all of this time.
