Title: Neutering
Post by: Beanie on May 24, 2008, 20:04:04 PM

I haven't been on Purrs for some weeks so my apologies if thi shas been posted.

I attach a link to an American video which had a different approach to promoting th eneutering of cats. It uses cats unknowingly to get the message across.

It is certainly different from the more serious attempts of UK charities. Are people more likely to listen or will the serious message get lost? I have an open mind but it is difficult for me to put myself in the position of an owner who is unaware or ignorant of the benefits to cats of neutering. I exclude the avaricious, greedy and money orientated back street breeders, as nothing reaches those people. I find that I cannot take a really objective view as to whether the message is more likely to work than serious campaigns.

What do you guys think?

Hi Pete

Thanks for posting this. Yes it has been but where I would have to find it. CatChat also has it as a link on their home page Right Bar menu titled Please Neuter. The picture has a link to the video.

Always worth a reminder and definitely worth promoting.

i have seen that before, dont know if I posted it on here when I Came across it though - very well done I think. I don't think it can do any harm - lets face it, neutering needs all the publicity it can get.

I like it. :) It's catchy and possibly that may filter into some peoples sub-conscious more than a "bossy message."
