As if!

I'm making cookies today and I hear a ruckus behind me. I turn to see Max on top of Gracie (Max is 9 mos maybe and Gracie is about 3.5 mos) biting her neck. At first it didn't register with me what was happening. You'd think with the pet population outweighing the human one in our home that I would have realized what I was witnessing. And then it hit me. NOOOOOOOOO! Max hasn't been fixed yet, and Gracie is the only "whole" female in the house, even though she isn't old enough to do anything yet. She's also the smallest female and the only one that Max can overpower. Before I could shake the cookie batter off my hands, Lillie decided to take matters into her own hands and pry him off of her. I then picked up the phone as quick as I could and made an appointment for my beloved Max (and Milo, maybe I can get two for one!?) to get snipped the day after Christmas. And then I explained to Lillie that under no circumstances is Max allowed on top of Gracie, until the day after Christmas. When she asked why, I told her that the vet was going to make it so he can't make babies with another cat, ever. Her eyes got really big, so I had to take a different approach. I said he won't do that again because the vet is going to fix him so he's nice to her. Lightbulb on! Got it. And then I had to explain alllll over again when Zac got home from school. It's really the talk of the Casey household right now.....big news.
