The public’s concern about the street animal population is undeniable. Female cats are one of the most productive animals in terms of reproduction. In one year, female cats can give birth up to 3-4 times. The gestation period of a cat is about 2 months or 63-65 days.
On average, one female cat gives birth to 4 baby kittens. Of course, you can imagine if this reproductive cycle is not controlled. Overpopulation of cats can easily occur if this is left unchecked.

Population problems can be controlled by sterilisation of animals. You can contact your local Veterinarian, or an
organisation with a Street Animal Sterilisation Program. One organisation that frequently sterilises street animals is JAAN Domestic’s Street Animal Clinic
For a clean environment, of course, the easiest tips for street feeding are as follows:
1. Give only enough food. About one tablespoon can be given for one cat.
3. Wait for the cat to finish eating the food. After that, clean up the leftover food and the food dish.
2. Cover the food with a plate or paper mat. Do not give food directly on the ground without a clean layer.
Street feeding is extremely beneficial for the welfare of homeless animals. If done in a responsible manner, it can have a positive impact on animals in need.

The Importance of Sterilization in Cats
The Importance of Sterilization in Cats. Cats are animals with a seasonal polyestrous cycle, which means they experience periods of heat in certain seasons. During the heat period, if the female and male unite, the possibility of pregnancy is quite high. Cats are included in the category of multiparous animals, which can conceive and give birth to several litters in one gestation period. In one period, a cat can give birth to 1-6 kittens. The cat’s lactating period lasts about 2 months, after which the female can experience heat again. Without efforts to control the population of cats, both female and male, the number of cat populations can increase significantly. In one year, the cat population can increase up to 18
times if no control measures are taken.
The Impact of Overpopulation in Shelter
The Impact of Overpopulation in Shelter. The primary functions of animal shelters are to
protect animals from abuse and to uphold their social, mental, and physical well-being. A balance between revenue and expenses, as well as between the size of the shelter and the number of animals housed there, is necessary to provide a secure and comfortable environment for the animals. And in order to prevent overcrowding, a shelter needs to regulate its population. Because an overcrowded shelter will only have negative
effects on the residents, who are also animals. What negative effects are those?
Canine Body Language
Canine Body Language. While your dog cannot speak as you do, she does relay her feelings and emotions through a series of body postures, gestures and vocalizations. Her body language can be subtle and wide-ranging, but with a little practice you can learn and understand it. Your dog will use her ears, eyes, ears, mouth, tail and general body movement/postures to communicate to you. She may also use vocalizations.
