I've been away for far too long. Just read this. Laughing my arse off right now.Thanks again everyone! You all make an old hag feel good.
Okay, PurrPurr, there is a story about what you quoted. I had a housecat that my husband surprised me with when she was six weeks old. She was black and marbled looking with tan on her. As soon as she got old enough to start going into heat, did she ever. She was unbearable to be around with the howling, climbing walls, climbing curtains, running up and down the hall as fast as possible and sounding like a horse in the process, and humping on anything she could get hold of. I know she couldn't help it, but it was unnerving and disgusting. We finally took her and had her spayed and all was well, for about three months, then it started back over again. We were in total disbelief. She acted just exactly like she did before being spayed. We called the vet who did her surgery and he said it was possible that a tiny bit of an ovary may have been missed, but it of course would require another surgery. We asked if it would be included in what we already paid. Duh, of course not. So, he did another surgery and did indeed find a little bit of ovary that he had missed the first time. We take her home and all is well for another couple of months. Guess what? It started all back over again, after basically being spayed twice. We decided that the vet must have been a quack and took her to another vet in another county. He checked her out and shocked the hell out of us. He said that one in every thousand cats who are spayed can regenerate ovaries. Yes, we had the one in a thousand cat. No matter how many surgeries this cat could have, eventually her ovaries would grow back. I know this sounds insane, but it's what he told us and we had never heard of such a thing and weren't real happy after spending over six hundred dollars on this "free kitten" and still putting up with her horny self. So, to make a long story slightly less long, the vet put this cat on birth control pills designed specifically for cats called Ovaban. We had to give her one pill a week for the rest of her life or put up with her in heat. The pills cost $1.15 each and this vet in another county that was an hour from where we live is the only place around where they were available. If anyone has tried to force a pill down a cat's throat, they know what an adventure this turned out to be. The pills also took a couple of weeks to have any effect on her behavior. Those were two weeks from hell. We live close to train tracks and never hear trains go by when we are asleep, but you could hear this cat howling over anything else in the home. My son woke up one morning and she had come into his room. She woke him up hunching away on his head and pillow and there were little wet spots where she had been. Yes, little wet spots. He puked because of it. That long and likely boring story is the reason for my advice. Weird huh?
I used to have a cat who would get a boner everytime I petted him. That was some sick shit. Glad he's gone now. He was my stepdad's cat anyways.
