Took Shakira in today for his neuter, and discovered that there may be an issue.
For starters, he hasn't "dropped" yet. Not such a big thing, he's still a kitten.
Although the vet did mention that he only felt one testicle, meaning the other literally, hasn't dropped into the scrotum yet.
At this point, not a big deal. He's scheduled now to go back in a month, at which time I'm hoping that nature has taken its course, and everything is where it's supposed to be.
However, if it hasn't, then what would be a relatively minor surgical procedure becomes complicated because an undescended testicle means additional surgery.
Anyway, he got a reprieve.
Update....
Took him back a month later, and he went through the procedure - so he's fixed. Yay!
And he's undergone a name change... he's now known as Sharky, or occasionally, the Sharkster.
That's because he bites. It's play biting, so you're forewarned.
I don't know when you're going to meet him, but I know at some point you & Aiden will.
Another update:
He's not such a biter anymore, at least to me.
Cleo on the other hand can be mouthy.
