Hi guys, I'm in a very sad position. One of my cats was killed just now by my neighbor who ran over the poor guy. He was real smart, and I am going to miss him a lot.
This is the second cat I lost due to roadkill and bad enough, this is the only son of my first cat(which was my first cat and died due to roadkill last year), I am blaming myself for not putting enough security measures in place and let em loose most of the time ( I only lock em up at night).
What is the best way to prevent them from straying ? should i just cage my cats or use some kind of trick (medication) to prevent them from wondering around too much.
im sorry to hear that, i lost mine too last 2 months, the name is snappy, she ran out, got fight with stray , ran further and got roadkilled...This is the second cat I lost due to roadkill and bad enough, this is the only son of my first cat(which was my first cat and died due to roadkill last year), I am blaming myself for not putting enough security measures in place and let em loose most of the time ( I only lock em up at night).

only after distributing flyers around the neighbourhood, one neighbour who is also cat lover said she saw the very same cat in the picture roadkilled at the main road..
but its too late cause its already 2 days and when i went there the body is not there anymore....tried to look for traces of blood or etc but cant find..
so now i make sure that all my cats are indoors only...by putting grill on windows so they cant get out...its hard to do it but its necessary for the survival of your pets...
some people might say my cats always go out a hundred times already but they are fine, but remember they just need to make a mistake one time only and they are gone!

Hi thre VK21,
You are most welcome
Oh dear... its mating season my friend
So you better be careful and separate them if not you will end up with kitties
Below, are some information for you. Hope it helps !
Female Kittens
Most frequently, it is recommended that female kittens be spayed at six months of age, or preferably before their first heat. The surgery, called "ovariohysterectomy", involves anesthetizing the animal, and the veterinarian makes an incision through which the cat's ovaries and uterus are removed. The surgical incision is then closed by either non-absorbable stitches (which must then be removed in approximately 7 to 10 days); or by sub-cuticular stitches, or by sutures that are placed below the skin and that gradually dissolve on their own in the body. There is another procedure that can be performed on female cats, and that is called a "tubal ligation", which is the surgical procedure which makes the female sterile, but does not prevent her from coming into heat and attracting males. Obviously, tubal ligation is not very popular for that very reason!!
Male Kittens
Male cats are usually neutered between 5 1/2 and 9 months of age, before habits such as spraying urine are started. Neutering involves the removal of the source of sex hormones and sperm cells, which is the testicles. The two incisions are usually so small that stitches or sutures are not even needed. And, normally, the cat is sent home the very same day.
Benefits
There are many benefits to having your pet spayed or neutered. For females, having them spayed will prevent them from going through any more heat cycles. Un-spayed females normally come into heat several times a year, and these cycles can last from several days to several weeks, and include such behaviors as spraying of urine (yes, females can spray, too!!), marking with urine, howling, and some other obnoxious behaviors. Neutering a male before he reaches puberty almost always prevents completely the development of all mating behavior, which includes spraying urine and marking territory with urine, and the desire to roam outside searching for a mate. This in itself puts the cat at great risk for injury or even death from being hit by cars; being the object of human cruelty; infection and disease from other cats; death from natural predators, and cat fighting.
Your Hiro looks like my Tiger!
