Seattle - Banned from MTV and most networks for being "too steamy" to air, PETA's frisky "Sex and the Kitty" public service announcement (PSA) will run in Seattle this week on KSTW-TV. Sure to raise eyebrows--and awareness of the companion animal overpopulation crisis--the ad shows animatronic cats in the act of "making kittens" to focus attention on the vital need to spay or neuter all cats and dogs. The airing of the PSA coincides with the release of the Sex and the City movie, which will be in theaters at the end of this week.

Why is "fixing" kitties so important? The statistics are staggering: One unspayed female cat can produce 36 cats in just one and a half years, and an unneutered male can father limitless litters of kittens. Every year, millions of unwanted animals are dumped at severely crowded animal shelters, where most are put to death. Others are casually passed around from one temporary home to the next or dumped on the roadside. Many unwanted cats and dogs who don't make it to animal shelters are abandoned and left to fend for themselves on the streets, where they are often subjected to cruelty and suffer from starvation, diseases, or injuries. Simple surgery (spaying for females, neutering for males) is the solution.

"The women of Sex and the City have nothing on our kitties," says PETA Vice President Daphna Nachminovitch. "And when you consider the millions of unwanted cats and dogs born each year, it's clear that the purrfect solution is spaying and neutering companion animals."
