Kitten Torture

Yesterday was more than a national day of mourning and rememberence... My cat Spike got neutered. What was supposed to cost $50 ended up being $135, because upon examination the vet said one of his testicles had not descended, so they had to go looking for it. Instead of snip-snip, his procedure was a snip-slice.

On the brighter side, we also had something called 'Soft-Paws' done to him. Rather than have him declawed, which I think is painful and cruel, they put acrylic caps on the tips of his nails. This will save my furniture, and my skin, from the onslaught of his little claws. The caps last about six weeks, and it was only $18, so I think it was worth the investment. The only bad thing about them is that Spike has to learn to use his rear claws for traction instead of his front ones.



I just hope the dog doesn't take this as a sign that it's open season on Kittens.
