BBC Online Video ~ Cat Crazed

The next time you have 45 minutes available that you can watch an online documentary, I strongly encourage you to watch "Cat Crazed". It is a 45 minute documentary about the cat overpopulation problem, how certain organizations are going about resolving it, how certain individuals are going about making the problem worse and how there might actually be a solution out there! A Canadian-made solution.



Check it out. I'm not going to tell you how it ends! I had to watch all 45 minutes of it to learn what the resolution for the overpopulation problem is ... I'm not going to spoil it for you.

News Reel - Cat prices cut at shelter

Any time a shelter lowers the cost of adoption fees, there are arguments on both sides. Such is the case in response to this article: Cat prices cut at Fort Garry shelter. The gist of it is that the shelter is overwhelmed by cats (they have 490 at the time the article was written), so to increase adoptions, they have reduced the adoption fee to $25.



There are those who argue that if the person really wanted a cat, they would pay the full amount. That those who adopt at a lower rate either don't want the cat as much or can't afford a cat in the first place.



Then there are those who promote the reduced rates, claiming that it increases adoptions and reduces the need for euthanasia due to space restrictions.
