  • Fixed cats live longer. Spaying decreases the likelihood of cats developing certain types of cancers.

    Friends of mine literally last week had to put their cat down because she developed breast cancer and rapidly deteriorated (we’re talking painful skin ulcers here.) If the cat had been spayed at a young age, she would likely still be here.

    And as others have said, spaying is the wise choice in case she were ever to accidentally get outside.

    Interesting, after Googling, it looks like both Weetabix and Weetbix are a thing. It was started in Australia as Weetbix and eventually expanded internationally with a factory in England. They renamed it Weetabix to differentiate the product from that sold in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.

    An interesting internet rabbit hole I didn’t expect to go down today, ha! My English grandparents often ate Weetabix, and when you said it was Australian, I didn’t believe you (and had a typo lol.) Turns out it’s both. I’d assumed Brits must have introduced it over there, but it’s the opposite.
