        Unless they already been part of the local ecosystem for a thousand years in your country. Then keeping them indoors causes problems instead.

      The kitten could be his nephew, or his first cousin once removed.

        That still falls under the “related” term, though.

          Yes, that was my (humorous) point. The cat can be related to other cats even if it is neutered.

    Very cute, but cats should be neutered, particularly those outdoors and especially the males. Males can roam a fair distance and often only have a short lifespan in suburbia. This just creates an ongoing problem with strays and ferals.

      Absolutely. And even if you don’t care that your cat is out there making kittens, it’s important to know that un-neutered males are much more likely to get into fights with other cats. A lot of the nastiest feline diseases spread through fighting, and fights result in injuries that can easily become infected. It’s not unheard of for males to lose eyes (or even whole limbs) to completely avoidable infections.

      So neuter your damn cats. It has the potential to extend their lives significantly, and promotes a healthier cat population in general.

        and if that’s still not enough of a reason, if they’re neutered before they start to spray they won’t develop that instinct but even if they already spray it won’t smell any more after they’ve been neutered

    People who let cats roam are first class assholes. People who let unfixed cats roam are a threat.

    Wow this is incredible! I used to have a black and white cat that look very similar, and I also named him Batman!!

    He was my childhood cat, he died almost 20 years ago. Maybe he is a reincarnation :). Crazy though. I gotta show this pic to my family…

    Edit: I have a cat now named Robin
