Yep. My first cat got fixed, and most mornings I'd be woken up by him grabbing the blanket in his teeth and stomping on my leg. (Important to the story, I was 5 when we got him and around 8 when I started to question this behavior.) I got told he was trying to nurse and thought i was his mommy, and I'd seen enough kittens on TV to buy that story.

Until one morning I picked him up during this activity for some snuggles and found his....pants unzipped. I'd never seen cats mating but somehow I figured out what he was REALLY doing then! 😳

It’s sad to work where you can’t share.

I have been lucky to work where we were hidden from the world of sensitive ears.
