But we can be two women worried about a guy important to us both and we can look for areas of friendship.
That's great. I'm glad her presence wasn't interpersonally stressful and I hope maybe you two can actually support each other through this in a way that helps you both.
may the ride to the top of that hill be as smooth as possible~ma
In unrelated, humorous to me news, i just told me younger cat that he has the softest empty ball sack i've ever petted. A little redundant, really, it's the only empty ball sack i've ever touched. Elder cat doesn't allow such shenanigans.
Connie, what they said. I'm glad it's working out better than you feared it would. sometimes people surprise us in a good way.
Erin, my gray cat confounded me when I met him because I thought he hadn't been neutered. Vet assured me that it was a sack with no balls in it. I thought that was very thoughtful of his previous people. Less traumatic, I guess.

One night my ex-gf reached back from our bed one night to pet our cat who was standing on the window sill. She intended, I am certain, to scratch him under his chin. That is not where she pet him. It was hilarious.

Less traumatic, how?
There's taking, basically, the balls out of the sac and leaving empty sac or untangling things and snipping just the bits that contribute to excess kittens. As I understand it.
... I bet this conversation is more uncomfortable for some dudes than when we discuss menstruation and cramps. Sorry? I hear that a bag of frozen peas is good for a sore testicular area. They conform.
Bonny, if I had the funds I'd send your neighbor a rose plant. Weekly.
aurelia FTW.
edited: also, meara, ouch. I cringed just by reading the description.
That is a marvelous idea. I'd totally pitch in!
Less traumatic for not removing the whole thing. My other neutered male cats have not had balls or sack left. Which is why Gray Cat confused me.
Sorry, gentlemen.
I'm glad things went better than expected, Connie. Much ~ma for the road ahead.
Leifur still has his sack, although he was neutered years ago. He seems fairly indifferent to the whole thing. In dogs, I remember reading about ball prostheses that vets could put in the sack after ball removal, to keep things looking, um, robust. I always figured that was more for owners who wanted the image of a bad-ass, macho dog without having to deal with them taking off after every bitch in heat in the county.
This is making me laugh. I always know which dogs are fixed because dignified, self-contained Darby loves her some uh, intact boys. That's who she is always crazy to play with.
I really doubt the ball sack or no question matter to the animals though.
