I had read years ago that cat breeders did this between breedings to make the cat go out of heat. You don't forget this sort of factoid. I have a young stray who was a sweet 4 month old kitten one day and the next a wanton hussy. It was distressing her and my elderly cats. I looked around for something about the size of the cat penises I have actually seen, since I don't have any special cat stimulating glass rods, and I decided on the smallest size of electrical connector--those little plastic things that hold wires. It's about the size of a q-tip, and I put lots of lube on it, and gingerly attempted to probe a couple times. She was annoyed, but they get annoyed when the male cats do it too. She didn't go out of heat early--I suspect that it wasn't enough to make a difference, or it wasn't long enough (1 inch)--but now that she is out of heat, I had hoped she would revert to liking me. She is still running from me. Do you think she thinks I assaulted her? I was really just trying to relieve her suffering. <BR/>I know you don't run a Q&A site but I haven't found anyone else who has addressed this sensitive topic, so I hope you can respond. I feel very guilty right now, and it would be nice to be able to touch her, especially since I need to bring her in for spaying before the next fun cycle begins!sallynearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005992602346378434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-6478924647848475492008-02-01T19:35:00.000-06:002008-02-01T19:35:00.000-06:00Some of the techs don't like the senior wellness a...Some of the techs don't like the senior wellness appts. I do. I like knowing exactly what the client is coming in for, getting right to business, not rushing through x-rays. It would be great for the doctors to share in the Feb. staff meeting, some of their findings.ColeBugsmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272780983176966027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-25967786973267720202008-02-01T12:15:00.000-06:002008-02-01T12:15:00.000-06:00What a great story!What a great story!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02700753775821511580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-57997006684452991892008-02-01T12:01:00.000-06:002008-02-01T12:01:00.000-06:00That made me tear-up.
