Okay, how's this -- "They seem to take it personally and humanize it.
MOST female women don't do the same when they have female cats spayed." Actually, you are the first woman I've heard of that took it personally and humanized it, if that's what you are saying. I didn't mean that woman aren't nervous about the idea of an operation on their cats, but that they don't relate it to themselves like "oh no, she will never know the feeling of having children" kind of thing.

Female women don't do the same when they have female cats spayed. Speak for yerself. I had deep misgivings about getting Oscar spayed, but I decided that her discomfort and yes, pain, was a lesser evil than even the slightest chance of having more unwanted kittens around. That doesn't mean that I felt great about having someone dig around in her belly to remove her ovaries and uterus. |

Rhonda, what you are saying (and you are right) is that woman are not the same about their ovaries and uteri as men are about their dicks. We can elaborate if need be, but if I do it people will get upset. It is the way I put things. |

Maybe you're right. I don't think of it in terms of "Oh no, she'll never have kittens" (maybe because I don't want kids, so I don't see that as a loss?), but I do think of it in terms of an invasive surgery that changes her hormone levels and her insides. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Ha! Thanks for clarifying. Sometimes I just use too many words...

I know, I always hate thinking about surgery for them -- it's a wasted
day for me until I know they're okay. You probably saw Mary's response, that's what I was trying to say. I have told my sig other many times -- I will just never understand testosterone. He can't explain it to me either. Rhonda Monique Y. Mudama wrote: Maybe you're right.
