Many cat owners in the United States are very irresponsible. They not only keep free-range cats, but also do not neuter the cats. Once they find out that the mother cat is pregnant and has given birth to kittens, they will put the kittens in cardboard boxes and throw them outside to fend for themselves.
A woman in Cleveland, Ohio, went out during a snowstorm and heard the heartbreaking meowing of a cat. She followed the meowing and found a cardboard box abandoned in the snowstorm. Inside, there were four cold and frightened kittens, screaming for help.
It can be seen from the photo that the box was taken out and thrown outside in a snowstorm. There was already some snow in the box. If the woman hadn't been kind enough to mind her own business, the four little kittens would have been buried in the snow and frozen hard overnight.
What kind of cruel owner would abandon four seemingly just-weaned kittens outdoors like this? There are also many local stray animal shelters in the United States, even if you send them to a shelter, it would be better. On a snowy day, I packed the kitten in a cardboard box and threw it outside. Do you think there will be many people walking on the road in this weather and come to pick up the cat? It can be seen that even if there are stray animal shelters, they may not be able to provide much help in reducing the number of stray cats. People who are not qualified are not qualified.
Why do you know at a glance that these kittens were deliberately abandoned? Didn't someone see that they needed help but were unable to help, so they packed them up in a cardboard box and waited for the right person?
As can be seen from the photos, these little guys are healthy and clean. Each one is round and well-fed. This shows that they were cared for by their mother cats before they were abandoned, which is why they are so clean, fat and healthy. To put it bluntly, even if something happened to the mother cat, and someone was helping the kittens, it would not have been more than 24 hours after the mother cat's accident and the kittens were abandoned. Comparing the snow in the box with the snow on the ground outside, it can be seen that it has been snowing outside for a long time, but the box was probably taken out for less than half an hour. What happened to the mother cat's accident half an hour ago? Are there any clues around you?
In short, fortunately, these little guys are still in good health, and they used their own screams to call their rescuers. Maybe God is reluctant to let such a cute kitten suffer misfortune.
Whether they are free-range cats or stray cats, as long as they have the opportunity to come into contact with other cats, they should be neutered in time. Cats reproduce very quickly. Compared with cats living in the wild, domestic cats in cities have much more abundant food sources and better living environments. Domestic cats have the ability to become pregnant and become cat mothers when they are 4 months old. Even stray cats can live for 10 to 8 years if fed by others, and can be pregnant with several kittens in one litter. If someone in a certain area regularly feeds stray cats and does not sterilize them, the number of stray cats in this area will increase exponentially every year.
To raise cats scientifically, cats should not be kept free-range or abandoned, and they should be well vaccinated and neutered. Since you have cats, you should be responsible for them.
