My three months old kitten Lilo is in heat. She has been howling for days (and nights), rolling on the ground and rubbing herself on my old (neutered) cats and old (neutered and/or female) dogs. Other animals are puzzled by such outrageous behavior, but since she is a baby, they are used to her being a pest and are just ignoring her. My kitten's behavior is not uncommon and is well known to the parents of teenagers in Utila. Or elsewhere. Tiny girls wearing high heals, makeup and hooker-style clothes are in fashion. So are teenage pregnancies. In Utila, baby is a fashion accessory, at least until she or he is 3 years old and not so cute any more. Something in the water, maybe? Raunchy TV novellas/soap operas they watch hungrily and regularly? Plain boredom? Or total lack of sense of reality and responsibility which should normally come from healthy family life. So, as a consequence, we have 35-years old grandmothers. And kids running around like stray puppies. Do I have a solution? Our vet Loretta is opened every second Tuesday between 10 and 12. She does free spaying and neutering, donations are welcome. Until then, I am going to chase Lilo and equip her with a miniature chastity belt, before she finds the ugliest, mangiest tom on the island and scratch her itch.
