PETA's new public service announcement (PSA), created by the advertising firm Saatchi and Saatchi, features animatronic cats doing what comes naturally (or, having sex). Some television stations have refused to broadcast the PSA for www.FixCats.com, claiming that it's "too lewd"!  You decide. 

With her sleek coat, wide-eyed stare, and "Like I care" attitude, your precious Princess really does behave like royalty. But put off having her spayed and every six months, she'll transform into a feline floozy, caterwauling and sending come-hither pheromones to every tomcat within miles. Her bizarre body contortions will have you wondering if she's part pretzel, and her yowls might shatter the stemware as well as the silence. Besotted boy cats, helpless to resist, will camp outside her quarters, and yours, until her "heat" subsides.

Tomcats make boys look like angels. Keep your unneutered Max indoors and he'll turn into a sex-crazed madman who "marks" his territory (your La-Z-Boy) by spraying it with his pungent urine. Put him outside and he'll disappear for days, only to come home (if you're both lucky) with abscessed ears and a scratched-up face.

"Fixing" cats is an easy, relatively inexpensive way to ensure better health and happier, more contented cat companions. Spaying females wipes out uncomfortable, stressful heat periods and the risk of uterine cancer—and greatly reduces the risk of mammary cancer. Neutering makes males far less likely to roam or fight and prevents testicular cancer.
