What total and utter rubbish. True, with close related cats the odds
of birth defects are slightly higher, but it would take several
generation of close breeding for it to become a real problem.
In breeding you often use close relative matings to reinforce a trait.

That clinches it. Brench Boy approves, so we KNOW you shouldn't do it.
Besides, original poster, you COULD foster kittens, probably desperately
needed help for some shelter. Have your cats spayed and neutered and help
our animal overpopulation.
Karen
Definitely stop this from happening.
If this is the first time they have been trying, they are very young and
certainly it could be very harmful to the queen to have a litter when so
young herself anyway, ethical issues of brother / sister mating aside
[Personally, I am strongly against such matings].
*Please* have them neutered before its too late.
If you are deperate to have kittens around, you will find plenty of rescues
equally desperate for fosterers.
If you are in the US, the pet over-population problem is *huge*, with
thousands of unwanted cats being put down *every day*.
*Please* dont add to it.

Spay is the female form of neuter.
Castrate is the male form of neuter.
Neuter applies to both you illiterate moron.

So...a 300 mile round trip. At worst, that's going to be one long day
in the car to save a kitten or three from being destroyed; is a life
worth so little?

Now before you-all flame me!
Brenchly is in my killfile and I would never have known of his comment had
Karen not responded to it.
Furthermore, I agree with Karen that if original poster wants some kittens,
there are too many unwanted little ones out there that need homes and you
could easily find as many as you want to adopt or foster. The newest members
of our tribe, Tiger and Lillie are now 6 months old and had their visit to
the vet last week. Lillie goes back to get her stitches out next Thurs.
There will be no breeding in this household.

Don't forget that most people don't know what you know about the pet
over-population problem. In my admittedly limited experience, here's
what often happens: A family adopts a sweet kitty and love her dearly.
Then they ponder whether they should have their sweet kitty spayed. And
they think, "Gee, if she had kittens, they'd be just as cute and sweet
as she is, and she's so wonderful, everyone would want one of her
kittens. AND our children could witness the miracle of birth." These
people aren't bad, they're just very uninformed.
I truly believe that the horrific problem with abandoned, stray, and
unwanted kitties will never end until the general population is
educated. Education is, unfortunately, a big-ticket item. It's too bad
there isn't some politician campaigning on this issue. If such a person
existed, I'd not only vote for him/her, I'd do volunteer work. Such a
person is probably not going to surface in our lifetime either.
But please don't let your cats breed, you have to find homes for all the
kittens when there are so many cats and kittens out there that need loving
homes.
Kai
Ok, that made me laugh, thanks!

Not as long as cat hating scum like you are involved in the shelter
system.

Just because YOU hate cats it doesn't mean others can't enjoy them.

Touchy subject, eh Bob? Still running that kitten mill, I see. How many litters
have you cranked out this year? (And how many has CPS already had to deal
with?)

Everyone is entitled to be stupid but you're abusing the privilege.
Cats Protection have never had to deal with any kittens from me - in

there is always a shortage.

Anyway Riddles, while you are here there are still a number of
questions you have to answer.
1) How many cats will die today because of YOU Riddles?
2) How many cats will suffer another day of deprivation because of YOU
Riddles?
3) How much money will your shelter fail to raise today because of
YOUR selfish two-faced rejection of help Riddles?
I don't think it is asking too much to expect answers to these
questions Riddles. The more you avoid them the more it looks like you
are hiding the truth. People have the right to know how many animals
will DIE and SUFFER because of YOUR brainless selfishness?
--
Bob.
Riddles. One of the biggest cat haters in the USA. As long as HER
cats are OK she doesn't give a thought to others.
Cats Protection issued a statement just two short months ago notifying the
internet newsgroup community that you were in no way affiliated with their
group, and they are quite embarrassed by you. You forget about that?

Hohohohoho! Harpic cat-hating Riddles does have some very wild dreams.
I think you should learn:-
A) How to read.
B) How Cats Protection (and most other charities) work in the UK.
C) How to stop telling lies.
D) How to stop being a sick and evil promotor of animal abuse.

That was a really stupid post. You haven't contributed anything that isn't
negative *ever*. You must just sit there on your high horse reading all the
pleasantries and chime in with a flame here and there when you don't like
something. Why don't you ever post anything about your own cats? Do you have
any?
Guess you were. Several of us contacted Cats Protection directly via fax,
sending them samples of Bunchley's moronic "fines" to be paid to Cats
Protection. And they were indeed unhappy with him.

No, you don't. They have not received any money from you. So, you are
pocketing it, huh? Just as I'd expect. Don't you know that's stealing, Bob?
I quote Dominic Sullivan of Cats Protection
".Mr.Benchley is nothing to do with Cats Protection and this
charity has not received any funds as a consequence of Mr.Benchley's
comments on the internet.I do not know whether an offence has been
committed but I can see that some might find Mr.Benchley's sense of humour
rather irritating."
So where are these "funds" you've collected? Spent them already?
Hmmm. I believe Cats Protection needs to know about this. You claim to be
collecting money for them, yet they have never received it. Interesting.

Again, nobody is stupid enough to send you money; you are making Cats
Protection as big a laughingstock as you are.
Besides being interesting, it's also called fraud.
