Around this neighborhood we do not neuter the cats so we can try to keep
enough of them around. What with foxes, coyotes and great horned owls it is
all a fecund set of cats can do to keep the population level!

Oh, come on!  Always keeping a cat in the house is like always keeping a
horse in a stall.  And did the owner say the cat wasn't neutered?  Some of
us depend upon our feline friends (neutered) to live in our barns and keep
them rodent free.
