Neutering Your Male Cat
Most male animals that are not being used for breeding purposes are castrated, or neutered, so that they can no longer impregnate a female. For cats especially, this is crucial, since there are hundreds of kittens every year that go without homes. There are many advantages to neutering your male cat,and the process is quite safe, so you should consider it if your furry feline friend is male and not yet neutered.

Or could you please spare some small change to help support this organization so I can have food and shelter until someone does take me home.
The Society was formed to alleviate the injustices animals faced then, and we continue to battle cruelty today. Whether it's saving a pet who has been accidentally poisoned, fighting to pass humane laws, rescuing animals from abuse or sharing resources wi
Tomcats
Male cats that have not yet been neutered are called tomcats. Simply put, it can be difficult to live with a tomcat, no matter how well trained he may be. When your cat is not neutered, he will want to get outside as frequently as possible to mate with female cats in heat. This can be disastrous if you live in a busy street with lots of traffic or if your cat is not used to being outdoors. Tomcats also roam a lot, meaning that they may travel far distances in search of female cats, and it is possible for your cat to roam too far and not know his way home. It is also possible for him simply to resist coming home at all, since he will be shut indoors. To protect your male cat, neutering it the best choice.

Tomcats Are More Aggressive
Tomcats also fight and are generally more aggressive than neutered cats. Because they want sexual dominance in a particular area, they may seek fights with other male cats to drive them away. Cats will fight to the death if they feel threatened, and fights cause not only injuries, but also the spread of diseases like the FeLV virus, which can be fatal. Neutering your cat will not stop an aggressive cat from being less aggressive toward humans, but it will prevent your cat from actively seeking fights with other male cats in the neighborhood.

Simple Neutering Procedure Will Remove The Male Reproductive Organs
Vasectomies are not done with male cats. Rather, the simple neutering procedure will remove the male reproductive organs, which are easily accessible in most tomcats. In some cases, more extensive surgery has to be done, because they have not developed and descended correctly. The removal of these organs is what causes the changing in male hormones through a cat's body, changing the cat's behavior. Sterilization is not enough, because the cat won't notice the difference and will still seek to fight and mate. Your vet can tell you more about this procedure, but all in all, it is the best choice for any cat, since there are already so many homeless cats in the world.

Squidoo Love
- My Squidoo Love: Interview from lensmaster Susan52, aka Susan Deppner
- What is your goal for doing lenses on Squidoo?
Frankly, I want to earn some extra money! I do, though, want to entertain and inform people on topics that both they and I have an interest in. I know that some of my "just for fun" lenses will never earn much money, and that's fine since I know that people do enjoy them. Knowing that my more financially lucrative lenses actually inform and educate people is very rewarding, but the income they produce for Squidoo, for charity, and for myself is a reward that I appreciate being able to take to the bank every month. - My Squidoo Love: An Interview with Sandy aka sandyspider a Squidoo Lensmaster
- How long have you been building Squidoo lenses?
I joined Squidoo in July 4 2008. I've been part of Squidoo groups for only a few months to bring in traffic. The groups plus Tagfoot has helped. The highway is all but an overpass and I'm still trying to merge on. - My Squidoo Love: Piedro's Interview

I don't have any specific goal right now. I did spend a lot of time aiming at Giant Squid back in July 2008, which I made, but since then I have only managed to create 10 further lenses. It's a matter of having time to work on all my projects. - My Squidoo Love: My self interview pantherart aka Arthur
- How long have you been building Squidoo lenses?
I build my first lens while sitting at a truck stop down in Larado, TX just a little over a year ago, 02/09/2008 and it is no longer a lens because it was terrible. At that time I had build six lenses and never did anymore until one day last July I had decided to log in to my account and there was this big blue box that said I had made $.18 and I thought to myself 6 lenses and I got paid $.18 what if I had a 100 of them or 500 boy I really could make some money. - My Squidoo Love: Great interview from lensmaster clouda9 aka Correen

Like most people, my goals have changed over time. My sister gave me a blog last year and mentioned Squidoo as one of the ways to promote it. It was all new to me and I didn't know anything about Social Networking so I started with fear and trembling. - My Squidoo Love: Jewels Of Awe
- The reason I started doing squidoo was to promote my books one of which is Jewels of Awe, a book of poetry.
I got hooked on Squidoo and it became more about getting more into the squid community and making squid friends
Which it turns out are some pretty good people in my opinion.
