Sorry. False alarm. When I went to pick up the cat, it turned out he was already fixed. ---

Hah. I’ve also seen neutered males get scheduled for spay surgery. Observant and thorough vets catch the error _before_ they make the incision. ---

I joked to a friend that I should call him Garbage, just because it’s not any more insulting than calling him Mr. Wiskers, or something like that. The cat’s not going to care. He suggested Garby for short. I actually liked Garby, and never called him by his “full name” again. 😉 ---
