This is my first response to the FML. I have been reading and learning for about 4 months. Re: Catherine Shaffer's letter on 2-3-97. I think she should find a good shelter for Mithy. Catherine made reference to waiting to see if Mithy comes into heat and then getting her spayed. Why wait? Get her spayed now and see if that changes her behavior. I personally think her other options are a bit radical. Defanging or euthanasia seem to be rather permanent solutions. Get Mithy spayed and find a good shelter. Thanks for listening. I do enjoy reading the FML. even if I do have a very hard time getting on AOL. D. Stover [Posted in FML issue 1835]
