The funniest thing happened at work today.
It isn't uncommon for people to be mistaken about the sex of their cat. They're told when the cat is a kitten that it's a girl, and so they believe it's a girl despite the large testicles that eventually develop. Because who really spends a lot of time staring at their cat's butt? (Despite the fact that all cats show off their butts quite shamelessly.)
So we check them when they come in for a spay or neuter. Because that's an embarrassing mistake for a vet or their staff to make.
Today a very nice cat, we'll call her Mina, came in to be spayed. And when I found that she had a nice big pair of testicles I left a message for her owner letting her know that Mina was definitely a boy and she'd have a refund waiting since a neuter surgery doesn't cost as much.
When she came to pick Mina up, she had her two adorable daughters with her and she told me she hadn't told them the news I'd left on the message because she wanted to record their reactions. This is how it went.
Girls (worried): What about Mina?
Me: Well, it turns out Mina is actually a boy.
Girls: No! (Total Disbelief) She can't be a boy. ... No way. ... How do you know?
Me: Well... she has boy parts.
Younger girl: You mean she has a penis now?
Me: Actually she always did, you just couldn't see it.
And then we had to figure out an awesome new name.
And that's why my husband is now going to tell everyone I work in a clinic where we do feline sex changes.

When my boss did my kitten's spay surgery, she double checked once she was under anesthesia because her anatomy made us both squint and we joked she was a cryptorchid. She said that wasn't a mistake she was about to make with my cat haha...but we proved she was a girl that day;)
Love it!! :)
LOL, that's so funny!
