Talking He's A Girl!!!

Many of us have been through the "Confusion of the Neuro" with the yes it is not it's not, 2nd or 3rd opinions each being different, there is a lesion no there is not a lesion, etc. Well, yesterday we had an eye opening experience. I found out that vets are the same way!

As you know about 5 months ago DD18 brought home a feral kitten. We brought Tux to the vet and he said it was a boy. It is NOT a boy unless male cats go in to heat making lots of noise and sticking there bottoms in the air. DDs and I sat here wide eyed exclaiming "He's a Girl!" LOL

BTW - Tux is doing great! "She" has become a loving and affectionate cat full of spunk. Jules if you are reading this, we did it. And, "he" will be spayed. lol We were waiting until "he" was about 6 months old per the vets recommendation. We will be searching for a new vet too for that 2nd opinion. LOL

That would have been embarrassing.

With Tux making her noises, DD17 thought she had really bad cramps and wanted to know what we could do for her - like a hot pack. LOL I told her that there was only 2 things we could do and 1 of them was NOT an option (finding a male cat).

LOL - I had the same thing happen to me! We got two kittens and I told the girls to make sure they were female, I didn't want a male cat. When the girls went to pick them up at the neighbors house they all checked and double checked to make sure. When they came home we checked again, no problem both females.

Well, about 6 months later I had one sitting on my lap on "her" back rubbing her belly and low and behold she was a he! We had taken them for their first shots a couple of months earlier and the vet said they were both girls! Well, come to find out they were both boys!

It was funny cause DD #1 named hers George thinking it was a funny name for a girl kitten. DD #2 named hers Buttercup which was ok.

We found a new vet too! Buttercup is still around living with my parents happy and fat as can be! When we took them to my parents George ran away after a week never to be seen again. We hope someone took him in but after weeks of putting up signs no one claimed to have seen him.

Char, that's funny! Thanks for that because I was feeling like such an idiot!

DD18 still wants to call her Tux/Tuxie. If DD18 knew in the beginning that she was a girl she would have named her Basil or Pixie.

When I was pregnant, the big shot specialist of multiple births my obstetrician sent me to did an ultrasound and said "Two boys". I looked at him and said, "No. Boy and a girl". I was right. I reminded him he also mis-sexed my Ob's child (he said boy, she had a girl) Maybe all those girls were giving him the finger.
