also why he can't stop "loving on" his stuffed toy.
And why he yowls in the wee hours of the morning.
And why his urine smells SO bad.
See where I am going with this??
On the advice of some TCSers about him having unusual litter box habits, I took him to the vet this morning for a urinalysis. The last time he had been seen was October, after I had trapped him.
Well I just about fell over when the vet tech said, "I see what the problem is, he isn't neutered!".
Before you fall off your chair, please realize that I do not know that much about cat parts, a DOG'S are easy for me to recognize.
So here's the thing. The paperwork I got from the Humane Society (loose organization of foster homes, no building) said he had been neutered and had shots/tests. However, the way things work there is no association of a name with an animal. The clinic (which is the same one I go to) kind of does it in "batch". I cannot believe there would be a mix-up like this.
This makes me wonder, did I trap the wrong cat? Here are his petfinder pics next to newer pics:
Left Petfinder, right recent
Here is the cat I trapped in September
And here is are pics from the side, petfinder on top and recent on the bottom
I am honestly not sure. I know dogs can change color and markings as the grow up, but cats? Obviously these are pictures of a tabby-and-white male cat, but is it the SAME cat?!?
Needless to say, Brady (or whoever he is) is going to come home a few ounces lighter today. But I feel awful thinking I may have trapped the wrong cat!!
