Cornelius's Nuts

Tomorrow, Cornelius is going to loose something. Namely, his nuts. He is going to the vet for "the snip". He does not know this yet. Right now, Cornelius is hanging out in my bedroom, totally unaware of why he can not eat any food or drink any water.

So what is involved with a kitty snip procedure? Lets find out! Note - this is NOT Cornelius. I stole these photos from a veternary medicine website. Google "Cat neturing" and click on the first link for the website.

Step 1 - knock kitty out.

Step 2 - shave kitty's nether regions.

Step 3 - Disenfect the nut sack.

Step 4 - Slice nut sack and expose ball 1.

Step 5 - Pull ball 1 out, exposing the nut string.

Step 6 - SNIP!

Step 7 - Tie a square knot in the two nut strings, snip off the loose ends, and repeat steps 4 - 7 on nut 2.

Usually, stiches are not required if the cat is young when clipped. Cats that are more devloped might need some stiches in the sack.

Male cats are happier after the nutting, and are less prone to fighting, roaming, and spraying. Fighting and roaming tend to shorten a cat's life, often leading to a violent end at the business end of a car tire or contracting some incurable kitty disease. This procedure is necessary for any house cat, male or female.
