Subj : Cats? To : Daryl Stout From : Janis Kracht Date : Sun Jan 27 2019 10:36:14 Hi Daryl, >> Oh yeah, been there with cats that needed spaying :) Hope you enjoy your new >> kitty :) > I know this is a cats echo, but I want to make a point. :) It's ok to discuss any pet here (except maybe pet rocks) :) > My late wife, Janice, loved dachshunds, and got me partial to them. > But she got the males, because even though they pee all over everything > to mark their territory, it is CHEAPER to neuter a male, than to spay a > female. I know that's the case with dogs, but would think it's the same > with cats. It sure is... much cheaper. > Anyway, the dachshund Janice and I got 3 months after our first one > had to be put down, was taken to this grooming and boarding facility, as > Janice and I were going out of town for the weekend. He was black and > tan with silver dapple (which is rare, only 1 out of 100 > whelpings)...and the vet tech fell in love with him. > She exclaimed "Oh!! He's adorable!!". Then, (to the dog), she asks > "Are we neutered??". > Without missing a beat, Janice popped off with "No, but my husband > is!!"...and the vet tech grinned, saying "Yeah, mine is, too". > I was so red!! :P hahaha :) > I think they have to be at least 8 weeks old before they can be spayed > or neutered. Could be.. it's been a while since any of our guys had to be neutered. Take care, Janis --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-3 * Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38) .
