Neuticles

Bev - 18 Aug 2005 21:48 GMT
My friend Lois, told me this story recently and suggested I post it on
the newsgroup.

Lois visited her cat-loving doctor where they discussed cat matters
instead of her health matters.  Seems said Doc was  adopted by a
handsome young tom from the SPCA.   The doc knew the tom needed
neutering but was sad to have it done because the young fellow had the
most beautiful male accoutrements.

The doctor said he was going to ask the vet if he did neuticles.  
(Blink, blink went Lois, who had never heard of the term).   But the vet
had and the doc told Lois on her next visit, the vet offered to do the
op. for $80 for one addition and $140 for two!!   The Doc said the cat
would have to have two and the op went ahead.   It was all a mighty
success and the vet was so pleased he took photos of the finished
product.
Young tom has his neuticles and all is well.   A footnote was a neat
little card with two jelly beans attached!

Jellybeans!! LOL!

Bev, your post reminded me of a veterinarian's anecdote of how
sometimes a client's pet serves as a projection of the client's
self-image...(BTW-this vet would NOT do cosmetic procedures on dogs
such as ear/tail docking.) He mentioned that some male owners of dogs,
before having their animals neutered, asked if he implanted neuticals
AND if they were available in larger sizes than the original organs!

Exactly.  Here they are marketed mostly to young male dog-owners who
might be said to be, erm, over-identified. :P

Footnote to story, My Dr and I were soooooooo busy talking about his
cat's -- hum *problem* that we forgot why I was visiting him, so he didn't
give me the referal for my chest x-ray or the form to have my blood tests
done at the lab and i had to go and pick them up later!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness yes!  But I'm so glad I had previous experience
(Kensey RB was half-Burmese) as he's quite a handful!
Luckily he's immensely good-natured & with a short memory
span at his age so any contretemps is soon forgotten.

I had never heard of this either.  "Neuticles"... *L*

Smokey doesn't even seem to REALIZE that anything more happened to him
than going to the vet's, having a long nap, eating all the food in
sight, and coming home.  In short, he is still convinced that he is a
pimp (as if he ever WAS one.)

Stinky doesn't, either, but he never was no pimp. ;)  As far as he's
concerned, he is a character in a '40s Disney animated feature. ;)

Oh I've heard of this term before.  It's a subject we kinda avoid
talking about becasue it generates a big debate, but we all believe the
same thing

That it is a stupid horrendous idea and was definitely thought up by a
male vet.

When we've talked about it, it's normally abotu dogs and owners who put
them on their dogs so they don't look "altered"

Sheesh...

LOL! My sister's cat Linus is such a macho that he grew his own
neuticles after being snipped. I knew he'd been neutered some time
before, and then he proudly turned his back on me and lifted his tail,
and I went, ...?? Didn't you have him neutered? Yes, she did, but he
grew them back. They're just for show, though. Non-functional.

ROFL!
Vino never needed neuticles because his fur in the area just got
puffier and it looks like he can still walk proudly in public because
of it.  I call them his little furry fake nuts ;-)
To be perfectly honest though, I don't like to see obvious sex organs
on pets.  I dunno, but they are supposed to be cute and sex-less.  It
always shocks me to see the dogs and cats here in Thailand with their
huge testicles, it's just not right on so many levels!

I remember walking down Broadway with my brother one day, and we fell
in behind a guy walking a Boxer, and it's so much worse when the dogs
have those super-short coats.  My brother muttered "He needs a pair of
Boxer shorts." :P

Sez who?  Neutered or not, "cute and sex-less" is not how I
want my cats!  (We neuter them for our own convenience, and
to eliminate the suffering of homeless strays, but even if
they're missing a few bits, I prefer my cats to be
dignified, mature felines, not "cute".)  In a perfect world,
where there were loving homes waiting for all the kittens
and puppies born into it, there'd be no need for neutering.

Not true. What about spraying? Litter, after litter of kittens, sucking
the life out of the queen. Mamarian cancer. Fights.

Glad to see you back, Bev.

As for the neuticles... to me, speaks volumes about the
insecurities/inadequacies of the pet owner.... I wonder if they get silicone
breast implants for their female cats...  ;-)

LOL Helen, good one!    Personally I hate getting any surgery done to
the cats but I live in the real world and neutering and speying are
prices that have to be paid to stop all the obvious disadvantages.

Along those lines, what about the need for 8-cup bras?

I can't find it, now, but someone once sent me a link to
"bathing beauty" cats attired in bikinis (yep, with
eight-cup bras).

That one's even better!  The one I saw was just a drawing,
not a photo of real, live cats!

I was thinking about this picture when I read Helen's remark about silicon
breast implants for cats....

I have absolutely *nothing* against neutering & speying - indded I'm
pro-neuter/spey. All of my cats are neutered/speyed. What I find *seriously
strange* is the need for cosmetic surgery on a pet... speaks volumes about
the mental state of the owner if "neuticles" are deemed necessary...

Yeah, but even still, I think a set of Neuticles might be
just what Dan M. needs.
