fixing the cat

I decided that it was time to change the cat's name back to Charlie from

Randy, so we decided to neuter him last week. David and I watched a 5

minute DVD of a vet in California castrating about 10 cats in under 5

minutes, and then I gave him an injection in his back, threw him in the

closet, and when he was out of it we strapped him down with a towel to

my ironing board and did the deed. It's about the simplest operation

you can imagine; it's easy to understand how those vets do 200 in a day

at the local animal shelters. Anyway, he recovered out back in the

shed, and the next day he's back purring and hanging around my door, so

I guess there's no hard feelings.
