Re: Cassidy is a boy!
I had a feral cat, one that came to me through rescue, which a VET looked at and gave it's shots to before sending him to me, he was a neutered male per the vet. He had kittens about 6 months later, oh yes, NOW I know WHY the other males were SO friendly to him! His name? Little Guy! He is still called Little Guy.

Re: Cassidy is a boy!
*We had Katie and never had HER fixed because she had VSD (which is a very serious heart condition). The specialist vet did ultrasounds and other extensive diagnostics on this kitty... convinced he was a she. Until one day she was having a bath with her back leg raised above her head and... umm... what are those?! Talk about not being able to wrap your head around the concept that we had a boy named Sue... or named Katie!! LOL, we still laugh about that adorable little boy... we lost him a year ago to heart failure, but we'll always love our little guynamed Katie.* *Leslie =^..^=* On 4/4/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I had a feral cat, one that came to me through rescue, which a VET looked at and gave it's shots to before sending him to me, he was a neutered male per the vet.
