Oh, yeah. There would be no more arguing at DU, if they were all kittens!

2. That really IS an interesting question.

We would be talking about responsible pet ownership, and caring for them, rather than declaring kittens illegal and sending them back out into the wild. We'd probably also be talking about addressing the central issue (where are all these kittens coming from), rather than decide to build a fence around our yard.

9. Sometimes, it does seem that we value...

...cute, furry, little critters more than people. :(

4. They're taking jobs from domestic cats !

Why can't they come here legally ? They have no papers ! They poop all over the place !

They are a scourge on our nation !

6. If it wasn't for all the spaying and neutering over the years, there would

be more American cats to fill those jobs.

10. In today's climate?

If undocumented workers were kittens, they'd be euthanized.
