New kitten

On Sunday I went to the SPCA here in Houston and found a kitten for Chester and I to adopt. HE was named Sprinkles, two months old, dary grey tabby (but the stripes run parallel to the back not across), and VERY cute. I paid them the money, HE was taken away to get fixed and I went home to think of a name for my new MALE kitten.

Yesterday I went to pick HIM up. I had wanted a mature MALE name to go better with 'Chester'. So I had decided on Albert. I loved it....then I picked the kitten up out of the cardboard carrier. I felt stiches on the kitten's belly...The lady standing there asked me if I would change the name from Sprinkles. I said I had thought it was a male and was thinking of Albert, however I don't think it is a male. She said oh? I showed her the paper work where it clearly states M for sex of the animal. She then turned to me and said..., "Oh then it must be."

Correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure that a male cat's 'junk' is not found in the belly region!!! This lady and the whole office there at the SPCA did not know what was going on or anything.

So the moral of the story, always check under a cats tail before picking one out.

So now instead of Albert, Chester and I have Althea, a very tiny, playful and lovable FEMALE kitten. She is doing very well and Chester and her are playing already.
