And for those of you interested in the quack vets I've been posting about, here's the latest on the basement kittens.....the rescue group scheduled them for the testing and shots this week. I bought 3 collars for 3 of them....I mapped out on paper and who's who starting with name, *beep*, description, collar color or lack of collar. The two without a collar listed Amaretto-male-larger white patch on chest, scant white patch on lower belly, no collar and Chianti-female-smaller white patch on chest, some white on lower belly, no collar. After they did the bloods, the tech (not the mouthy one) came out and told me they should all be wearing collars because they couldn't tell the two without a collar apart. I remained calm. I lifted the one out of the carrier. It was Amaretto. I showed her, according to my chart, the "larger" white patch on the chest, the scant whtie patch on the lower belly. Then I lifted his tail and explained to her that, "These are testicles, and this area here is his penis. That would make him a male." And I pointed to male on my chart. I put him back and took out Chianti. I said, "This is a smaller white patch on chest and see she has some white on her lower belly. ' I then lifted her tail and said, "And rather than having the testicles and penis that Amaretto has, this slit indicates a vagina, making her female." And I pointed to "female" on the chart. I then went on to say, "If you still had further doubts you could have just brought one out and asked me." She went back from whence she came with her tail between her legs. "Those you shelter on earth will be your treasures in Heaven." Victor Hugo, I think
