Comment by Douma_chukyoミスインドゥ on Cat Partners: Maruru And Hachi - Chapter 3

@Douma_chukyoミスインドゥ wrong, they purposely neuter male cats not just the strays because of overpopulation. As you can see, many cats are strays because of irresponsible breeders/owners. It seems like a cruel thing to do but, honestly, it's not. People who neuters/spay their cats truly cares for them. Even professional vets agree with this. Better minimize their population that just let them die without proper care. I think the creator either intentionally drew Yasuo and the other woman that way as a joke or that he hates people who neuters cats. Neutering doesn't really harm the cat, it even prolongs their lifespan. The snip/chipped ear is a mark for "neutered" cat/animal.
