Another story from the vaults of my memory...

So, we are going back to the early 1980's again... I was working for the state, I'd been there for a couple of years and had made some friends in the building. One was a guy in the mail/stock room. One day he came in and told me to come with him. I followed and there, in the stock room, kind of blocked in with supplies was a tiny little ball of fluff. "Oh, what a cute little girl!" I exclaimed. And all the men in the stockroom looked at me like I'd grown a second head. Alright, I hadn't even touched the kitten yet. I had only just gotten a look at the tiny ball of white and orange and black fluff. "How did you know it was a girl?" Jerry asked. Now I looked at him like he'd grown a second head. "She's a calico. All calico's are female," I replied. "I wish I'd shown her to you first, I just spent $30 at the vets getting her sexed," he told me. "Well, she probably needed to be checked anyway," I told him. He had gotten the kitten for his kids. I told him he needed to be sure to get her spayed and he seemed to think that was a good idea, no idea if he did tho. Gads, I bet he's a grandfather now!
