Virgin(ia) No More
It seems like just weeks ago (because it was) that she played like an innocent little kitten in her cardboard boxes, and batted catnip infused stuffed mice in the air and generally exhibited behavior that could only be described by the most curmudgeonly as not cute.
And then there were some scheduling snafus and I didn't get her over to the vet soon enough and she became something like a woman but not a woman in the good sense and the few people that know her out here, including me (but I'm trying to understand), have started calling her a slut.
It's nature happening and there is nothing slutty about nature or if there is it's slutty in a good way or slutty in a necessary way. We need to stop calling her a slut I think. She is still cute and the fact that she was seen rolling around seductively on the back porch yesterday evening while two big-headed scarred up Tom cats licked there lips should not be seen as evidence that she is not cute. In fact she may now be considered really cute or cute as in hot or cute in the way that is considered a compliment to adolescent girls.
I was worried about her and didn't sleep at all that first night she didn't come in. It was pretty cold out and she has always been kind of take it or leave it regarding the great outdoors. I was sure she had foolishly tangled with one of the super-territorial foxes out here and I pictured myself finding her mutilated carcass lying under the dogwood tree.
She wasn't dead though she was just out late with the boys making those weird guttural noises, with her tail high and inviting in the air.
I had her scheduled for the spaying this past Monday, before all the sex started, but having her spayed and then going out of town the next day seemed incautious so I rescheduled for next Monday.
Bernadette has been making slut jokes about her and I think it is starting to affect the cat's self-esteem.
We were at a bar last night and ran into Lorina who has cat-sitted for me once before and I told her about the recent activity and Lorina said she was a slut. I said well I'm glad she at least got to experience sex before the spaying and Lorina said yeah so she can know what she's missing for the rest of her life.
I think the once and previous kitten will be better off for it though and that the knowing look that adult cats often pretend will in the case of my little Virginia be well earned.
