Joanna Schwartz
So yesterday I took my little old cat Rooster to the vet. He’s a scrappy former street cat, now domesticated geriatric kitty who is known by name and loved by all my neighbors. But yesterday, at the vet, I just thought I would ask to make sure because his boy parts seemed a little odd…After 5 YEARS of calling him a boy, I find  out, he’s a girl!!! My mind is totally blown! Has this ever happened to anyone else??!!
