Well, its a new one for me. Last year I got one of the "newcomers" to the colony fixed, A few days later a twin brother showed up with an ear tip. I didn't bother to check to see if he had ACTUALLY been neutered. Just assumed with an ear tip he must have been. WRONG. Three days ago happened to be on my hands and knees (my usual position these days!) when he walked by. He is NOT neutered. Now how could that happen? Any ideas out there from you all? Why would someone ear tip a cat and not have them neutered? Could he have been missed in a shuffle at a neuter clinic? All ideas, thoughts welcomed.
