A Note From The Author
The fictional Kim Bailey of this story displays many traits one hopes today's youth will develop: determination, persistence, assertiveness, resourcefulness, and confidence. But Kim also makes two mistakes the author wishes to strongly caution children against.
First, Kim is definitely wrong to purposely mislead her family by misrepresenting and withholding the truth. Pet ownership is a serious responsibility which must be shared by children and grownups alike. Children cannot raise pets, even for a few months, without assistance.
Secondly, there are two litters of kittens in this story which, if not spayed or neutered could result in as many as 155,551 offspring in just 5 years of uncontrolled breeding. It is hoped that this story will promote and encourage a family discussion of the importance of spaying or neutering a pet. No matter how fun, or even educational, just ONE litter of kittens or puppies may seem, it is not the morally right decision in light of the fact that in the U.S. alone 4-5 million unwanted animals are destroyed each year.
The author wants to assure the reader that Homework went to the vet to be spayed as soon as she came to live at Grandma's house!
