Owning a cat means you sometimes have to make some choices that, while uncomfortable, are for the greater good – like having them spayed or neutered. It’s the responsible thing to do, but that doesn’t mean they understand.
Quite the contrary, when they find out exactly what that dastardly veterinarian has done to them… they may be a bit shocked. So make sure they’re sitting when you tell them, because after hearing this, even a cat might not land on its feet.
