I may have lost the battle, but I won the war.

That's the face of a proud father of 30.

Muffin probably knocked up a dozen cats, two dogs and Mrs Johnson’s lawn mower to warrant this public announcement.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 21 points 7 months ago

The lawnmower was collateral damage, but the resulting edge trimmers meowing for snacks are scary.

I'll never forget when the vet sterilized mine it was a rescued cat.
Vet:Alright the good news is that the surgery was successful but there afe more news...
Me:Oh... Erm go on
Vet:Turns out we tought he was younger by his size but he is way older than we tought maybe 7 years instead of 7 months. Turns out hes small by himself and malnourished. And also not virgin.
Me:Alright I'll bite how you know?
Vet:Well... The testicles darken with the time and gain wrinkles woth the use...
Me:And sooo....
Vet:He had toasted wallnuts...

If the vasectomy doesn't come with an announcement post like this I don't want it.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 22 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I'll pull you through the streets on a rickshaw announcing it

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hear ye, hear ye! The new eunuch blesses you with his attendance.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Meanwhile in the Ottoman court.

"The new eunuch is having you assassinated. Blessings."

Why does this read like a CK2 event?

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 43 points 7 months ago (1 children)

that's a relaxed cat, probably still on drugs

"These poor fools think removing my testicles can diminish my power. Naive."

we had a stray on our street produce 17 kittens at the same time, from a mother and two of her kittens. that kind of havoc.

that was just at our neighbor's. who knows how many others he... sired? spawned? offsprung? around the neighborhood. we were trying very very hard to get all of them at least TNR'd. but we kept the cutest one for ourselves.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago

Let's just say I'm relieved he's sterilized

Operation Catsnip

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

That's a typo, the cat is named "Muff In"

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

They said it could be done but they finally caught that Muffin, man.

I have a tuxedo cat about that size.

[–] Trigger2_2000@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

You mean Operation CatSnip don't you?

[–] brianary@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Naming pets after food always seems like incredibly poor taste to me.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Applesauce looks like an offender.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

She really is. She's the queen of unprovoked attacks.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

She has a history of violence...

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

What an absolute unit, lol. Looks a bit like mine, also a Tuxedo that got the snippy-snap later in life with a distinctly unit-like look. (Though not as absolute as this one.)

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The least they could after that is buy him some Neuticles.

Edit the to they

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 3 points 7 months ago

Muffin isn't his real name. That's Tommy the Cat.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago

I had no idea the Tuxedo breed was sired by this lone and prolific tom, Muffin.

Fascinating. 🖖🏼

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago

That’s a big fucking cat. At least as big as my old cat Fat Bob.
