The only way to stop it is neutering, but many people can't afford to do it.
All the rescues are struggling with increasing numbers of cats in need.

Anna is on the right track. The only way to reduce the numbers of cats is to stop them from having kittens.
If people can't afford the vet bills then they need help. 
Some shelters have been able to open spay/neuter clinics. 
The trap Neuter Release programs help. We all have to pull together to help reduce the numbers of unwanted cats and kittens. 
Hopefully Anna's story will encourage others to help out.]]> One unneutered cat can produce many kittens. The only way to stop it is neutering, but many people can't afford to do it.

Not only are cats funny, they also photograph well.
I always love the pictures of a cat doing something in someone's home and the punch line is I don't have a cat or this is not my cat.
Where do these random cats come from and do they stay?]]>

Sometimes animals form deep bonds. It was very loving of the people to recognize that and let the dog and cat stay together.
I am sure they loved the cat themselves, but foster parents are willing to let another family adopt an animal they foster.

These cases are so complicated. The judge is right, the cats are not children. Children will grow up and be independent adults. Cats will always be dependents. 
However, cats and any other pets are not the same as toasters and TVs. They are not property in an ordinary sense. They are more a responsibility.
Issues like who can care for the cats do matter. Who the cats prefer should matter. It also should matter which cats prefer to be together.
I don't think the judge's ruling was wrong. It probably was the best solution. I don't like the judge's reasons for the decision. Pets are not ordinary property and should not be disposed of as such. Legal systems will eventually need to address this situation and find appropriate ways of dealing with pets when a couple breaks up.]]>
