thats what we did with our current cat, she's a shelter kitty and p. awesome

it sucks, they're not doing spays/neuters any more at our city animal place because the shelter is underfunded because the shelter is overcrowded because they don't do spays/neuters any more :(
so how much does it cost to have a vet do it

$80 is doable and im fortunate enough to be able to pay stuff like that (it's $55-60 here btw, we're in hickville) but maybe my concern is the tens of thousands of people in my town who maybe can't, and as such animals needlessly suffer because of it

my parents got this spray that's like cat-b-gone or something

basically you spray it on a thing and it makes them not want to touch it for some reason or another

i don't remember much about it
you can accomplish this with hot sauce. not that you want to put hot sauce on your curtains casao. more helpful:

quote:

Plants That Are Cat Repellents
5. Some plants give off smells that cats dislike. One such plant, Coleus canina, goes by the common name, "scaredy cat plant." As the second term in the Latin name indicates (think "canine"), it is also effective if you have trouble landscaping with dogs. Other plants often recommended for keeping cats away from yards are:
    * rue,
    * lavender, which deer pests also dislike
    * pennyroyal
Other Substances That Double as Cat Repellents
6. Try sprinkling "stinky" substances around the problem area, including:
    * dried-blood fertilizer
    * mothballs (drop them into a can or jar, cover, and make a few holes in the cover).
    * cayenne pepper flakes (but see below)
    * ammonia
i dont mind the smell of mothballs, but youd probably rather use one of the plants. lavender is nice.

oh they all KNOW their name,

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey--
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter--
But all of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum-
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover--
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.
