Peensch!
What little weasel is the numero uno Google images hit for “cat testicles”? Uh-huh.
I was looking for a picture for Gibby, who isn’t sure what cat baubles look like. I’ll try to take a picture of that big orange bastard next time I’m at Animal Control (dude has a pair, which is undoubtedly how he ended up in animal control).
I owned a big orange bastard just like him once. Wonderful cat. Name of Norbert. He deserved a better name than that, but he was three when I got him and I didn’t feel entitled. First time I took him to the vet, the receptionist asked his name and I said, “Norbert…well, roughly.”
Oh, you guessed! Ever after, I got annual checkup notices addressed to Roughly Weasel.
Roughly was a wonderful people cat, but hell on other animals. Fought constantly. I inherited him because his last family went broke having him stitched up all the time. I made him an inside cat, and he still managed to get loose and get bust up fighting with a cat in the building.
So I take him to have this latest boo-boo sutured and it occurs to me…maybe — I wasn’t all that clear on the ordinary appearance of cat baubles myself — maybe he wasn’t thoroughly neutered. Maybe what they do is, like, little kitty vasectomies and they missed a snip. Or something.
So I say to the vet, “you know, he’s awfully aggressive. Are you sure he’s…ummm…completely neutered?”
And the vet snorts, crosses his arms and says, “pinch his scrotum!”
And I go, “WHAT?!”
And he says, “go on! Pinch it!”
And I go, “no, that’s okay, I trust your…”
“PINCH IT!”
Poor old Roughly is stretched out on the steel table with a big supperating owie on his back, and I reach out and honk his ballsack. He whips around and gives me a look like, “holy FUCK, lady! WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!”
Honestly, though, if I didn’t know what cat testicles should look like, how the hell did the vet expect me to know what they should feel like?
Not long after, my mother’s vet invited her to be present at her own cat’s neutering (men flirted with my mother in the strangest ways). It’s a process the involves much pulling and twisting. Mother could describe the experience in a way that made grown men go white and shake like leaves on a palsy tree.
In conclusion: cat testicles!

There are few acceptable active verbs to use with the direct object “scrotum”, and “pinch” is not among them.

It’s safe to assume, pnb, that any verb that suggests, implies, or downright asserts a pinching, squeezing, or crushing of any scrotum or the contents thereof is a no-no.
Perhaps it would be best if we all just stopped talking about the male’s direct objects altogether. I’d like to relax from this cramped fetal position and go get a sandwich.

*LOL* @porknbean & “HONK”
I’m going to PetSmart on Saturday to see about adopting this guy. My Fletcher needs a brother — Since his older brother died last Nov. he has transferred all his affections to me, and drives me nuts when I’m trying to read or cross stitch. The foster of the prospective bro says he’s very snuggly, which is just what Fletcher needs. And another bit of data (as if we needed it) on cats’ “direct objects” (good one, jwp); on Siamese those are part of their “points” — the darkly or exotically colored bits. I used to have a very handsome blue-point Siamese “visiting kitty” who came on my porch every day to romance my cats (a neutered male & spayed female). He was very large, very beautiful and very well-endowed. I know this because he used to press the objects tightly to the doorwall screen and sing lovely songs in his Meezer wail (they have very distinct voices). I called him “Mr. Blue,” because his tune sounded just like the old Fleetwoods record.
I’m Mr. Blue oooo-ooo Till you say you love me ….

There once was a tomcat named Roughly
Who approached other pussycats toughly.
The loss of his balls
Mattered nothing at all,
But pinching his scrotum’s enough.

I’m pretty sure there are laws against “gently cupping” your cat’s empty scrotum.
Did I mention that was the point of the exercise? To prove to me that there were no balls in that there sac?
Comment from porknbean
Time: June 5, 2008, 5:37 pm
So if there were no remaining balls, then why didn’t they cut the sack off too? It’s not like he needed it anymore.
And why would he have you pinch it when a ‘flick’ would do just as well?
Comment from S. Weasel
Time: June 5, 2008, 5:42 pm
I don’t know. Because most vets are male? They leave ’em with apparent mini-balls, that look about a third the size of real balls.
Although — if Jess is around, maybe she can comment. They neutered her youngest, Foxy, at about six weeks (he’s a beautiful ginger boy, too). That’s becoming more common, to snip them young and ensure cats leave the pound already fixed. I don’t know if he has vestigial testiculish anatomy, or what.

Porknbean –
If you don’t stop this – I’m going to have to bring up the subject of Janet Jackson style nipple-piercing.
Perhaps that will help you relate to the shiver that shakes men’s souls when you keep ahem ‘beating’ this subject….
Now back to our previously scheduled, uhm, whatever:
There once was a Tom Cat – deballed
T’was bad ‘nough he’d been overhauled
But when you tweak his empty ball-sack
Goddamn; that’s a personal attack!
And you’re lucky he didn’t bite, but just squawled!
And now for something ENTIRELY different. I was checking on the spelling of the word ‘squawled’…. and stumbled across this page.

Lokki that page was horrible. I had to go read “Most Fucked Up Person Alive Tells All” to clear my brain out. That’s bad.
Oh and about balls, I grew up on a hog farm. When the boars would be brought to the farm, I wondered what their gigantic balls were. My brother told me there were “homogenized piglets” in there. To this day I remember almost being able to see the outline of a piglet curled up in each ball. We also had 32 farm cats but I don’t have any cat ball stories. I do have a cat EYEball story but that’s for another day.

Lokki:
This is the easiest USD10.00 I’ve ever made.
The excerpt you are referring to is located in the alternative history novel 1632 by Eric Flint. It depicts an imaginary town called Grantville, WV (typical Appalachian mountain rednecks, mostly), sent back by the Ring of Fire (Eric’s explanation is an Assiti shard, a piece of futuristic alien crap) thought to be a miracle, to the year, and you’ve guessed it, 1632 Anno Domini. Into Thuringia, Germany, slap bang in the middle of the Thirty Year War.
In this time, the head of the local UMWA (mine union), Mike Stearns, cobbles together an emergency government and starts kicking ass. The setup to Chapter 22 is where a camp follower by the name of Gretchen has been rescued by Jeff Higgins. She, along with the people under her charge (including ol’ Grandma), are then taken to Grantville’s high school to be washed up, clothed and fed. Of course, you got a problem because Jews and Muslims keep ritually clean, and you don’t wanna have anyone else think you’re either, not in those days, so you kept as dirty as possible. Which is where the squalling comes in. As for Gretchen, she ends up marrying Jeff for love after all, instead of just because he can protect her. And the CoCs she sets up? They meet in McDonald’s. Real revolutionary there, guys.
So. Do you need my bank details? 🙂
PS No, no cheating, it’s just that I own the book and have read it about 20 times by now. But I’m at work, and so do not have it in front of me. So.

Weas, yes you did mention that the entire point was to ascertain whether you did indeed get the bang for your buck in denaturing your feline.
However, I would say to both pnb and Weas, that I think most guys would agree that a little tenderness, a little compassion would help his self-image immensely. I think they also leave the extra biological material in case you wish to invest in Neuticles™. If you want the Cadillac version for your pet, the Neuticles UltraPLUS are $329/pr. So now your pet can lick his… errr… it’s prosthetic nuts as if (almost) nothing ever happened. I am not making this up.

Eh? Nipple piercing…brrrr. Nope, doesn’t make me flinch, though it does bother me as I do not understand why anyone would do such a thing. I knew a gal who had it done and after she gave birth couldn’t figure out why she couldn’t nurse her son. Genius.
Do your balls hang low, do they wobble to and fro,
Can they fall into the pot, can you squish them with your toe,
Can you tie them to your shoulder when the wind turns a bit colder,
Do your balls hang low?

Nipple piercing.
Ok, so I’m at the gym one day years ago. My workout buddy and I were pretty heavy-lifting dudes back then so we spent a lot of time in the gym. One day he says “Dude, check this out.” He lifts his shirt and shows me this nipple ring. And I’m thinking like “Geez dude, I could’ve died without seeing that…”
Ok, the stage is set.
A week later he comes in and says he doesn’t want to do a chest workout, no benching, no curls, no flys, nothing. I asked him why. He lifts up his shirt and shows me where he ripped that puppy out when it caught on his bedsheets while asleep one night.
We couldn’t have done a workout anyway, I was laughing so hard at his idiocy. Hadda hurt tho.
I thought you’d get a kick out of the Neuticle thing pnb!!
