Tommy Or Tabby?

This is crazy.
I can't believe this. I mean, how often do you get such news?
I am literally falling off my chair, my sides are ACHING with laughter. My mom had just called. She was at the vet hospital with my pet cat poppy, who was a stray cat who had forcefully adopted us!
We didnot want her running into season cycles so we decided to have her neutralized. And over there, halfway through the operation, the red faced angry doctor comes with poppy and yells at my parents ''WHO TOLD YOU THIS IS A GIRL? THIS IS A BOY!!!'' and was inquiring impatiently what to do next, followed by a hysterically laughing mom who was struggling for her phone to call and tell me this.
So this is exactly how my billi (tabby cat) became a billa (tomcat)!! :)
The doorbell rings and everyone enters, with my laughing family and an unconcious poppy. I don't know how will I get used to calling her a he now!
This incident had the same effect on my friends who couldnt stop laughing ''poppy pappu nikla'' (poppy turned out to be pappu!). Even their parents, who disapproved of adopting a stray animal, couldnt stop giving a little smile.
Having a pet is one of the biggest joys i have known. But with a pet, comes great responsibility (which my mom fulfills of course!! ;) )
I remember reading a comment on a Youtube video, which was about an extremely fat and sweet cat called Maru. My suggestions to please watch it. The person had said ''Watching Maru is the second best thing next to having a cat of your own.''
I couldn't agree more.



Poppy, My Darling Naughty Cat!
