CAT INCEST.
My parents just called me asking if I knew a cheap place to neuter a cat, because the vet they asked sounded expensive. They have a brother-sister pair from a litter, and they're now 8 months old.
And I am like, well, this is a serious if routine operation. You kind of want a good doctor, not a cheap one. How much was your quote?
Dad is like, I don't know, mom had it. I will ask her. Have you seen the pictures?
What pictures?
The pictures of the kittens.
You mean the ones you guys have? What, are there new pictures of them?
No, the four new kittens.
... what.
Yeah, the new baby kittens.
... what.
I'll forward them. Talk to you later about the neutering price.
CAT INCEST.
I generally really do not approve of how my family handles their pets. It's a cultural thing, but the problem is that they are not in the cultural *context* where it would be appropriate, they are in the culture over here which has animals put down because there is not enough space for them and no one wants them. The cattens my parents have should have been neutered months ago. I guess they didn't think they would try anything so young, and with each other. I'll be trying to watch the situation closely to make sure the kittens find good homes.
God, my family. Yeah.
It's like another page in the saga entitled "story of my life"
