Dear Savannah . . .

"I’m freaking out.  My family is having me neutered.  What does that mean?  From what I hear on the streets, I’ll be coming home from the doc’s office with less than I had going in.  Tell me the truth—am I going to be less of a tom?  Will my meow change?  How do I deal with this?"
Signed,
Thom — asina?

Dear Thom — asina,

"Calm down.  Your tomhood will still be intact—well, at least in spirit.  You don’t really need those things anyway—they just get you into trouble and you certainly don’t want to contribute to existing overpopulation of cats and kittens!  Not only that, statistics show you’ll be healthier and live longer without your little doodads. My resources say that the procedure is a simple snip, snip and it’s a done deal—you’re home the same day.   

One last comment—the freaked out look has to go.  Remember, cats are always in control of their emotions—seriously, you need to maintain the mystique."
