At the end of this month, BabyCat’s going to have to get neutered.Mr. Ivy reminded me of it this morning as we were watching BabyCat zoom around the living room, looking around as if he was shocked to be there. "It’s almost time for the ‘tutoring.’"

"Tutoring" is a family joke. When we went to take Tiny to get neutered, he pranced around the house acting like he was so proud that he was going to go somewhere and something important was going to happen. After all, I made an *appointment* for him. We imagined him telling the cats, "Haha! They’re taking me to get tutored! I bet you cats have never been tutored!" We then imagined the cats telling him that tutoring was a bad, bad thing and Tiny not believing them.

Well, BabyCat will probably be the same way. But he’ll find out soon that "tutoring" isnt’ all it’s cracked up to be.
