Allegory

Over the weekend, Sven, our cute little black and white tuxedo kitten with 7 toes on each front paw, started to feel his testosterone.

Poor John had to pull him off of Cleo, our senior, sickly cat, twice whilst the little bugger was attempting to screw her. We decided he needed to be neutered ASAP. Sven is only a little over 6 months old, but has a very dominant personality and has been throwing his alpha cat weight around like there is no tomorrow. He even slaps at the big dogs who get in his way.

I called Jeannie’s office (our vet who takes care of all creatures, great and small), and though she felt he was a little youngish to be castrated, agreed to do the job on Monday, as soon as she got back from an appointment.

So, after a night of no food, I packed up little Sven in the carrier and drove him down to the vet’s office. I held him as Jeannie injected an anesthetic and waited for him to go to sleep. Then, Vickie, Jeannie’s assistant, put a mask over his little head while Jeannie prepped him for surgery.

Ouch, or it looked like ouch to me! Rather than trying to shave the tiny little kitty scrotum, Jeannie plucks the fur off of them - apparently, there are fewer problems with razor burn that way. Yikes.

Then, very quickly, a quick incision was made, the testicles were snipped and removed from the scrotum and placed on the table next to him.

Cat balls are very tiny.

So, Sven is back home, and he knows something is different, but he’s not sure exactly what happened. He is losing his previous control over the other cats and the dogs of the household. He is becoming, a regular kitty, no longer forcing his inexperienced will on the household population.

So I think of our President Obama - he is Sven - needing to be neutered. He is trying to screw our old and sick, and he is trying to do it on his own, ignoring the protests of over half the populace.

President Obama needs to be politically neutered - and we can do that in the 2010 elections - we can take away at least one of his testosterone-laden balls - the Senate - by voting out every Democrat and every RINO we can possibly rid ourselves of. Hopefully, the House can also be taken away from him - and Nancy Pelosi will no longer be the Speaker of the House and 3rd in line to the Presdency!

Only then will the President learn that he needs to respect our views, but I suspect he will continue to act like an inexperienced kitten, not realizing his power belongs to us.
