@bot @ymd they did that to my cat when they neutered him.

Why?

@bot @ymd @franz It's more visible than a cat pussy.

@book @ymd @bot they cut their ears as a way to signal they’ve been neutered because people must need to know.

wtf that's mutilation

@Sighs @franz @bot It's just an injury. She was a stray cat.

@Sighs @ymd @bot sadly they do it to strays to show they’ve been neutered. I hate it but it happened before he became my cat.

@franz @Sighs @ymd @bot Domesticated cats are an invasive species with zero instinctual inhibitions regarding overbreeding. It is necessary.

@book @Sighs @ymd @bot I agree with you there, which is why I’m against TNR and letting feral colonies establish themselves. in my area there’s been massive population declines in native birds and colubrids. I just don’t like the idea of cutting a huge chunk off the ear when a small nippet would do the same job.

@franz @Sighs @ymd @bot It makes sense on a stray, being able to tell they are spayed at a glance is very good. It makes absolutely no sense for an owned cat.

@book @Sighs @ymd @bot I guess they just expect people to adopt them and make them barn cats, which just means they’ll be strays again until picked up or killed.
