The Mad Scientist's View of Cats: We love our cats!

Like all good Mad Scientists, we love our cats. Their elegance and aloofness coupled with their occasional unconditional love make them suitable companions for any Mad Scientist. Here are some possibly entertaining articles about the Mad Scientist's cat entourage.

The Mad Scientist also participates in local trap-neuter-release programmes for feral and semiferal cats (such as the Commuter Kittens). The cats are expertly neutered/spayed, treated with antibiotics, vaccinated and have the left ear snipped/tipped. There is *no charge* for this service. We pick them up and release them back into their home environment to live out their lives in peace. The cats are checked to monitor their recovery; we also feed/water them and provide a place outside where they can sleep. Strays and feral cats sent to shelters who aren't adopted (and many ferals aren't adoptable) may end up euthanised. This is unnecessary and cruel! Be a responsible pet owner and get your cats (and dogs and rabbits) spayed/neutered.

Shelter strays may get euthanised if not adopted:
