"Mom, I'm A Boy..."

That might be what my cat has been trying to tell me for months. That's right, Missy is a boy cat. When we dropped her/him/it off at the vet this morning to be spayed, my mom confidently checked off "female" on the paperwork. We honestly thought he was female! About two hours later we received a phone call with the clarification. "A boy?" I thought. "What kind of surgery are they doing over there?!"

Eventually we had to decide whether or not we wanted to change his name. Since "Missy" is short for "Misfit" the answer is a firm no. Missy will just have to deal with it.
