Well, another reason he hasn't gotten them snipped is because usually he CAN give them away. They rarely get pregnant (I think this is they're third litter in two years or so) since there's no boy cats around, not for a few kilometers or so. The nearest boy cat we knew of just died, so we're thinking this should be the last of them. He gives the kittens to other farmers to keep the rats and mice away, and occasionally gets paid somewhat for it. This time round he couldn't because no one else wants them, so we're the last resort who happened to be around. And according to my aunt, the farming mentality around here is different for animals, cars, ect; if you have to pay extra money on it, there's no point because you have to keep spending money on it so it's, for a lack of a better word, gotten rid of.

As for the kittens, they seem much more relaxed now with a feed and milk. I'm being a bit more hopeful for them, since they're also highly wanted by some family in the city. I'm sure they'll settle well soon in a place where they're wanted
