Kitten for life

Recently my father and I took our youngest cat, Katja, to the vet for her castration. By that time she was still a slightly oversized kitten, so we were wondering if it would be ok. However, she was old enough and spring is here, so we took her there anyway. During the castration, which took quite long and was obviously quite distressing to Katja, the vet discovered only one ovary. The other ovary might still be in her body, but it’s much more likely that she was born with only one. The vet marked this as a good explanation of why she’s so small, for this would mean that she’s been missing out on a lot of growth hormones. The removal of the ovaries might mean that she’ll still grow a little bit, or so the vet said, but it’s been a while since the operation now and there’s still little change. So this means we’ve got an eternally cute kitten for a housecat! I made a small video of her to show off the cuteness ^_^
