The Operation
In the Bronx, N.Y., lived a rich cat who was a bit
of a snob, though she did chat only occasionally
with her neighbor, an alley cat.
One day, she announced that she was about to have an
operation, although she didn't mention what it was for.
Two weeks later, her humble friend saw her again and
inquired politely how she was feeling. Then he dared
to ask what kind of operation she had had.
"Oh, I am quite well now, thank you," the rich cat replied,
very stiffly. "I had a hysterectomy."
"For heaven's sake!" the alley cat exclaimed in exasperation,
. . . "Why can't you call a spayed a spayed."
Two cats can live as cheaply as one, and their owner has twice as much fun. -Lloyd Alexander
"If your cat has a tendency toward being overweight and you feed free-choice (leaving the bowl of food out all the time), it may be time to put her on a feeding schedule so that she is not grazing all day. Most cats do well on twice a day feeding. Divide the daily recommended amount
of food into two feedings, one for the morning and one for the evening. "
