RAWRRRR!

We have to be at the vet's tomorrow at 8.30am with Hamish. Testicle Removal Day has arrived. He's already in a raging, furious sulk because everyone in the house got fed except him. I'm really not looking forward to trying to get him into the cat carrier in the morning. I still have the scars from last time. Wish us luck please!


In other news, my sister and her boyfriend came to visit today, and (despite my last-minute attempt to distract them with offers of pretty calico demon-cats) they are going to have Hamish and Saffron as soon as they've all had their gonads removed. We'll be making Saffron's appointment today. Still need to organise Naamah being done, but with no testicles in the flat it becomes a matter of rather less urgency.

I wish I could keep him.

I've experienced Cassie going into heat a few times, because I didn't want to put her through surgery while the kittens were tiny and relying on her feeding them, and of course she started cycling almost before they had their eyes open. So yeah, I haven't forgotten what a pain it is. It's just going to take some time and faffing about to either find someone to do subsidised spaying or pull the necessary money out of my arse.

Mum and I can get subsidised treatment for three pets each... Hamish is already registered there as hers (to be fair, we did think she was going to have him when we did that) and that leaves us with one cat over the limit.

I think I may have to use that last subsidised slot for Naamah and make my sister pay for Saffron. She won't like it but she and BF both have good jobs - it won't hurt them like it would hurt me.
