Little Mabel going in to be neutered tomorrow. Never been responsible for getting this done before and it’s really torturing me! I know it is bread & butter for the vets but poor little thing has no idea what’s about to happen!
Am I weird?!
Needs to happen but that's never easy. Cutting the goolies off male cats is less serious but feels even worse

It was a condition of the RSPCA adoption if I recall (and arranged by them) but I would have got it done anyway as it is the right thing to do. However it does feel a bit brutal now I'm having to think about it!
Because there are too many stray cats.If you let her go outside, she needs to be neutered. A female on-heat attracts all the local toms for a gang bang. At least one is likely to be infected with FIV which could kill her. Otherwise you have all those kittens to deal with. Regardless my neutered female is not a virgin. She enjoyed the attentions of a single tom which still poses a risk, but nothing like as bad as the whole gang.

Second trip to the vets for our very nervous elderly rescue cat, Caine.
He's been sick almost every other day for the past week. Initially we thought he'd been sicking up furballs - but later in the week there was no sign of any hair, just regurgitated cat food. He's been given an injection that's meant to help his stomach lining (apparently passing big furballs can cause it to become inflamed).
He's still incredibly shy, and will hide from us at every opportunity. Weirdly though, although he runs away from us if we get too close - he was quite happy to let the vet stroke him.
He does like to dominate the lounge when the house is quiet though.

What a lovely chap!Our Gary is also RSPCA! We renamed him after Gary the Snail, SpongeBob reference! We also have his brother who I wanted to name Brian (Magic Roundabout snail) but the kids overruled me and named him Mart.
Gary is a great name for a cat!
