Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2005I took Mariah to the vet this afternoon...
and Mariah needs a more...ummm..masculine name..heehee. I think I've insulted him by calling him Mariah. In my defense, he has been neutered and he's black and wouldn't let me get a close look. Other than being misnamed he's healthy and passed the required tests to be allowed to stay inside with the rest of the feline family. Julie, Hobbes, Selena, Lacey and Black Cat > and Mariah needs a more...ummm..masculine name..heehee. Mario. Very tough. :) Oh DUH!!! That hadn't occurred to me! Or Marlon maybe. John Wayne's real first name was Marion! Blessed be, Baha > > and Mariah needs a more...ummm..masculine name..heehee. > > Mario. Very tough. :) > Oh DUH!!! That hadn't occurred to me! Or Marlon maybe. > > John Wayne's real first name was Marion! My little sister was supposed to be named Mylo Wayne if she were a boy. I'd have sued. My parents had the worst taste in names...but then my father had nothing to do with my name. He dropped mom off at the hospital and said call when they let you come home. Pam S. who came out of the family as the only one of the last four with a human sounding name. > and Mariah needs a more...ummm..masculine name..heehee.

I thought Mischief was a boy when she first came into the apartment. Because of the pretty gray coloring, I starting saying "Mr. Gray." It wasn't until the next day when I took her to the vaccine clinic where I worked at the time. The vet looked at her and said, "Chiquita" Since I had said if I got another friend for Imp I would name it Mischief. So, Mr. Gray became Mischief Gray. :) Kristi Julie Cook <GaDragonfly@comcast.net> had some very interesting things to say about I took Mariah to the vet this afternoon...: >and Mariah needs a more...ummm..masculine name..heehee.

When out first cat Sam was injured we almost didn't go to the local vet to check out the injured gray female cat they had taken in. We only went because the cat had been found a block from where we lived by a friend of a friend. Sam BTW was a recently altered male registered lilac point Siamese. So even the vet made the same mistake when he couldn't get a really good look. Didn't someone here report that a vet had actually opened an incision to spay a cat only to find no goodies inside?

In my defense, he has been neutered [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > That happened with a cat that I had taken to be spayed. The vet explain that it wasn't rare, but, was unusual. He did charge for the procedure though. The cat, Pretty, was a special member of the family and lived a long, happy life with a wonderful d*g companion. Brings back memories of when the children were little (they are in their 30's and 40's now). If I were ever to write the story of my life the chapter titles would be the names of my pets, not numbers. Charleen >> and Mariah needs a more...ummm..masculine name..heehee. >> Julie, Hobbes, Selena, Lacey and Black Cat [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Jo My vet told me the only way to confirm a spay is to open the cat back up. However, he was able to feel a scar so we figured Persia had been spayed. She'd been front declawed, too, so it was a safe assumption... and she's never gone into heat (she's 5 or 6).

She came home stitiched, shaved, and very PO'd. She was very forgiving, though.

The Vet said there was no scar that they could see when they shaved her belly. To say that Princess was miserable is putting it mildly. I felt she blamed me for taking her to that place .

MLB I don't feel quite as bad as I did when I discovered that QC, the cat I'd been blithely undressing in front of for all those years, was not a cat of the feminine persuasion. In short QC seems to stand for Queer Cat, and not quality control, as we'd assumed. He was rather disgruntled to be unmasked and seems to be happier being referred to as she. She weighs around 20 lbs so I'm not going to argue with hi...her. Pam S. > and Mariah needs a more...ummm..masculine name..heehee. I think I've > insulted him by calling him Mariah.

How are the other cats reacting?

Well, Michael was originally named Michelle, so I know just how you feel. ;-) It's good news that he's healthy; we're sending integration purrs! ------ Krista Ha, Julie, that's how we had a boycat named Shetra for 17 years -- hope he hasn't learned his name yet!

You're not the first one this has happened to, for sure. With Circe, he wasn't yet neutered, and I was told he was a she when I adopted him, so I asssumed he *was* a she. Until the day I was brushing his belly and out popped something that made my eyes pop! Oops! Now with Sabra, he just gave off a feminine energy. We always joke that he *must* have been a drag queen in his last human lifetime. He's got the attitude and the look. But when we had the vet check, oops again! She was a he, neutered. Both of them black cats, btw! Ginger-lyn who at least got Arthur's gender right! So great to hear he's healthy, SignaturePolonca & Soncek > and Mariah needs a more...ummm..masculine name..heehee.

Mars, Marcus or Mithras perhaps, if you swing mythological. Micah or Matthias if you swing Biblical? Blessed be, Baha > and Mariah needs a more...ummm..masculine name..heehee.

Micah or > Matthias if you swing Biblical? > > Blessed be, > Baha Thanks Baha. I've been looking at Mythological names as well as American Native names. DH and I both are reluctant to go with the favorite name of the group, Mario, even though we're both racing enthusiasts. I keep seeing that annoying little guy from video games - Mario. Sometimes I think he should be named Bear or Raven. I keep calling him Mariah and Rusty looks at me in total disgust. Last night I laughed and said "Hey - My Name I Sue, How Do You Do?" He just shook his head and said emphatically, "NO". He will tell me what his name is when he's ready and we'll go with that. But I'm considering all of the recommendations from everyone. Julie |
