Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / May 2007Stray cat problem, and a question
We have a problem with stray cats where I live. It's very sad. After thinking about it this afternoon, I have a question. When I was a kid growing up in Kentucky, I seem to recall people controlling the local deer population by putting out salt licks that had been treated by some sort of chemical that would leave the deer sterile. This seems like a great approach to the problem. If this approach works for deer, why wouldn't it work for stray/ sterile cats? Steve They don't have birth control pills for cats the only option I know of is surgery. Celeste > We have a problem with stray cats where I live. It's very sad.

Is there some theoretical reason why this form of sterilization is impossible or impractical for cats? Is it just that money hasn't been available to develop it? Does anyone know? Steve Probably because there no market for it where the manufacturer would make a profit. Everything is profit driven.
