So, I take my cat to the vet this morning for a routine neuter/vaccination visit. But, of course, as is usual with me, it wasn't.
Turns out Reese is a "special kitty", as in falls into less than 5% of the kitty population, because he has Cryptorchidism - which is a fancy way of saying that only one testicle decended. Now, instead of a simple snip-snip, they had to go into his abdomen to find the second one and remove it.
He gets to spend the night at the vet, medicating and meditating about the fact that he couldn't have his manhood taken with ease and dignity, they had to make it a big production.
Poor kitty.
