Tomcats: a public service announcement!

I work in a vet clinic... and the moment I walk in I can tell if there is an intact (not neutered) tomcat in the building. It happened again today, the woman was adamant that she wanted to breed her "very special" (read: matted, stinky, regular old Domestic Medium Haired cat) but I have to wonder.... Does she know that he is making her house smell like a urinal? Because he really does. I think....maybe the smell creeps up on people so they don't notice? I totally understand keeping your breeding male special-breed toms intact, you can't have more without them, a necessary evil but... regular cats? There are LOTS of them out there, I'm fostering a litter right now.... I have nothing against regular cats, I have 1, he's fabulous... and neutered.
I dunno.... maybe some people just don't know?
ok, end of rant, sorry - but I couldn't get that smell out of the exam room for HOURS!

It seems to be some pet owners can be completely irrational about their loved ones.
In the town I used to live in there was a case where a guy killed a cat that was repeatedly crapping in his garden. Now it's not cool to kill someones pet but the owner's response to repeated complaints was her cat had the right to do it's business wherever it chose. The guy should have killed the owner. He was prosecuted but in my opinion she should have been too.
Among the really stupid pet laws where I live now there are some real good ones too. Cats have to be licensed and are subject to the same rules as dog owners. License for a cat or dog is 55.00 a year unless the animal is fixed, then it's 5 bux a year. I really like this. If a breeder cant afford 50 bucks a year for their license they have no business breeding animals.

People make me so mad. They do not spay or neuter their pets then complain about numerous aftermath problems, kittens, diseases, spraying, etc. But as Ron White said "You can't fix stupid!"

Some people are just plain stupid about their animals. Take my stupid a....well sister in law. She has some cocker spaniels. Now I'm a dog lover but I have always hated this breed. They are stupid and many are biters. I've not known one that was very well behaved. Anyway. She currently has 8 of them. She THINKS shes a breeder because they do mate with each other.
Not too long ago my mother in law came down before I went to work and asked me if I'd put one of 'em down. She was crying so I agreed. I went up there and to my horror, there laid this very large dog. This one wasn't a cocker, but some other breed and I actually liked this dog. It had huge holes in various parts of it's body that were filled with fly larvae. I was horrified as the poor guy was still alive and was pretty sure he was going to be thankful for what I was about to do. She had left them in the small cage she called a "kennel" in the summer with a full coat and the big guy couldnt take it. So he laid there for like 4 days before anyone attended to him. Any how, these damn dogs she has now, she had them for sell when they were pups, but wouldn't come down from like 450.00 each on them so now she's left with 2 y.o. dogs that aren't house broke, aren't trained at all, don't behave, run out in the road in front of my car, chase my car come down to my house and attack my dog, crap in my yard, get in the trash...just make life hell. She thinks she has these special stock dogs as the one male once won "best of breed" in a three dog dog show in Oklahoma .
My mother in-law had a very nice brick home before they moved in. Now it stinks really bad and probably has permastink. I better shut up now as I'm sure I could go on all day long about this and never find the end.
My wife used to have three male cats. All were nuetered. They never stunk or sprayed anything. Now we just have Bob here for a cat.
