The Story Behind Cal, the Warehouse Cat Final Part

Continued from parts 1, 2 and 3 We'd had Callie for a couple of weeks or so, and we suddenly noticed some piles that did not look quite right. Bloody stools and a bit runny. It alarmed us, as it should, and so it was decided to take Callie to the vet to be checked out. So, the deed was done. Callie went to the vet and we waited for the doc to look her over and make sure she was all right. A few hours later we got the call. "Well, Callie's fine," the vet told us. "Just a bit of a case of worms. But no worries, it's not serious." She was going to give us some medicine to put into Callie's food that she said was going to clear her problem up in a few short weeks. "She'll be good as new," she said. "One other thing," the vet paused. "Callie is a boy cat." What we heard was "Callie's got balls," but of course we are men and can be a bit immature at times despite our years, and of course the vet was a bit more professional than we could ever dream to be. So it became to be on that day that the cat we met as Debra who became Callie is now known as Cal. Perhaps Cal would have preferred to continue to be known as Callie since it wasn't long after the discovery that Cal also got snipped. And that, my friends, is the story behind Cal, the warehouse Cat.

So did Callie learn his new name quickly? And he is still the warehouse cat, isn't he? I'm not too sure.

Poor Debra/Callie/Cal, when finally everybody knew he was a boy, he lost his balls. My neighbors had a cat very similar to the one in the photo, I loved him, his name was Willy.

I don't suppose cats have the same preconceived ideas about suitable names

Thank you for sharing the story of Kalli, the warehouse cat. It's great to hear that she's doing well after her vet visit and that her issue was easily resolved. It's also interesting to hear that Kalli turned out to be a male cat and was renamed to Kel. Thank you for sharing this heartwarming story with me!
