Took Clyde to the vet today to get him a post-adventure checkup, where they shaved (huh huh, shaved pussy) and cleaned the nasty bite on his tail (the yowling was horrendous), checked for an ID chip (no dice), and looked to see if he was spayed (spayed!?).

Yep, spayed. Clyde's a she.

I thought this might be the case, as cats are tricky to figure out in the first place, and a neutered male can look just like an intact female. I didn't feel like poking around in her no-no area at the time and was planning on letting the doc check when this point came. Anywho, the vet said she most likely was a stray after all, and we have to assume she's pregnant. The next step is to let today's antibiotics and other meds do their thing and then find somewhere to get her snipped and pulled in the next couple weeks, before she ends up having kittens. Otherwise she's doing well and doesn't look so much like a skelecat anymore.

Also, since Claudette is nowhere near as funny of a name as Clyde, she needs a new nomme de chatte. I figured I would let you fine folk do the work for me, so all you need to do is reply to this entry with your suggestions, and/or reply to other peoples' entries. The names with the most votes will move on to the final round, a formal LJ poll, to determine the favorite and all-time champeen winner.

Now go for it!
