Re: spoil?
My cats get spoiled, rotten little beasts.
Though I doubt that they'll think so when they go in to get neutered at the end of the month.

Re: spoil?
Entropy, I'm sure they'll thank you later when they're not having the urge to be out and about roaming and getting hit by cars. A fixed animal is a happy animal *wishes she could get all of her female rats spayed... little street-walkin' hussies*
All of my animals are spoiled in a good way. None of them get clothes put on them(well.. the rats... but that's DIFFERENT! shush...I have pictures..), all just get fed properly, socialized, and they know their place in life.
All of my rats(pets), 25+, eat organic, natural foods(mmmm Kashi...). I, on the other hand, eat generic stuff from cans... But hey, they actually eat cheaper than I do, LoL. My rats, snakes and other critters are my kids, as I don't want any of the human species. I like spoiling them as they only live 3 years or so. They're worth it.

Re: spoil?
Oh believe me. I'm all for getting my critters 'fixed'. Drove me nuts when I taught dog obedience and you'd have all these people going "But he has papers..."
WHO CARES!? Is he a beyond perfect example of his breed? Is he going to offer something amazing to the puppies? Is he a bench champion? Field champion? Obedience champion? Epitome of health?
I'm calm, just a pet peeve of mine. There are lots of good dogs out there but just because they have papers isn't a reason to breed. Same goes for horses....for cats....
*steps away from soapbox*
Rats in clothes! Pictures!!!!

Re: spoil?
Yep exactly! Who cares if they have papers if the dog is a total butthole. Unneutered male dogs are idiots, they have no sense and are just plain annoying(I've met MANY). I'm sure some that are well trained(such as police dogs that actually have a JOB) are ok, but still... If he doesn't qualify as a perfect example of the breed standard, doesn't have perfect health, personality, attitude, etc, then NO. Just like tons of Labradors and other breeds who are long and lanky... when the breed standard is short and stocky.. Yeeaaahh. Let's just breed because we can! YAY!
And yes, it's a major pet peeve of mine. As is trying to deal with people who don't care what their dog eats. yay Dinner Time and Ol' Roy... While those people can put $3000 rims on their SUV and buy organic food... But can they buy good food for their dog? Nooo... They choose to buy the junk with fillers, or the little tins of Mighty Dog... I found this response on this page to be excellent regarding dog/cat foods: http://experts.about.com/q/Dogs-701/...d-food-dog.htm
Ever seen rats go fishing? I like to buy rosy reds every so often and put them in a shallow glass baking dish with water. The rats look like little raccoons diving with their heads under water and getting the fish out. So hilarious!
And yes, I'll get those pictures and post 'em Give everybody a good laugh.
