Took Erin to the vet yesterday.

My new kitten, Erin.



Erin is perfectly healthy, going to be just fine.

But the vet gave me a surprise.
Erin is a MALE! :wow:

The person who gave me Erin said Erin was female, but she goofed.

Understandable, at his age it isn't easy for non-vets to know the difference.

It's ok, I still :loveya: the little stinker.

1. So it's Aaron then?

:D

Eh, there's a guy on one of the sports radio stations named Erin, so I guess it applies as a unisex name.

2. I guess now she's..... Aaron

Cute Kittie!

4. Um, you didn't know?

It's pretty easy to tell the difference. As my father told me once a long time ago, one has a colon, and the other has an exclamation point.

5. No I didn't.

Now I do! :-)

6. Even I thought Abbie was a girl at first

Until I saw him licking something that girls can't lick on themselves

:crazy:

7. It's okay

Erin is one name for Ireland - he could still represent Ireland rather than it just being a traditionally female name.

ERIN GO BRAGH!!

[Archae]

8. I don't want that!

I don't want Erin to go "bragh."

Ever step in cat vomit? :-)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

9. Yes, I have

and it's MOST unpleasant!

10. A friend's husband is named Erin

11. There you go!

Also, if girls can be named Michael, why can't an adorable boy kitty be named Erin?

12. I got fooled once myself

but in my justification, the cat in question was neutered - and he fooled the vet at first, too. It took some time before the vet actually got through all the fur and fat and figured out that our "pregnant" stray kitty was just enormously fat!

I was most chagrined, but he did have an empty scrotum, so it wasn't as obvious as it normally would have been.

13. LOL

That happened to me, too.

I thought Male was a boy.

I took her to be fixed, and imagine my surprise when the vet called me with the news: not only was she a girl, but she was in heat, too.

I had to pay extra because of that :(
