When she was a child, The Darthside knew she didn’t want to have children. At nineteen, she decided to get sterilized, and seven years later had the procedure done by a surgeon in Germany. The procedure had been done endoscopically, leaving her with no scars, which bothered her, so she had Muffe at Copenhagen Body Extremes in Denmark giver her three cuts, intended to look like a large scratch.
A while later, after reading the various animal modification posts, she realized that her cats and her have sort of matching scars, all stemming from sterilization…

what’s with the huge scar on the cat?? poor thing…
I’ve never seen such a badly done procedure here (in Israel)… Most of my friends have cats, and they have all been sterylized and you don’t see any scar at all!

First off: sterilization should be easy and free for anyone who wants it! Second, “The Darthside” looks really cute and I love her scars. Even though I am totally a “dog person” and would never have a cat, it is so cool that she has matching scars with her pet! I have thought of something similar with my puppy!

Just to clarify, I think the picture makes the scar on the cat’s belly look much more brutal than it is. Most of what you see is just shaved skin, which is somehow very wrinkly, lol.
The actual scar is a small vertical incision in the middle of the shaevd area, which is indeed hard to make out in the pic.
And the tattoo is morse code for “We apologize for the inconvenience”, inspired by Douglas Adams.

Okay, let’s see if this works.

Nope, didn’t.
nyhoo, for those who can access IAM, I put up a much better close up picture of the actual scar (on the cat) where you can see that it really is just that small incision.
Nope, didn’t.

Just a couple of remarks about serilisation: sterilisation of women (and female animals) is major surgery; sterilisation of men (and male animals) is minor surgery. It’s also easier to reverse a vasectomy than a tubal ligation. These may be two of the reasons women are being refused or strongly urged to reconsider sterilisation. As for sterilising animals, I’m of two minds about it since the primary intention is usually to prevent animal overpopulation, and responsible pet owners are not the ones letting their animals run wild and produce litter after litter of offspring. In the case of outdoor cats, though, I think it’s quite defensible.

I was sterilized at 24 (no kids, I’m in Canada), just over a month ago. While the surgery didn’t leave much in terms of scars (one on the inside of my navel, another tiny one just above my pubic area), the latter incision’s stitches rejected, so I did end up with some nifty scarring. And I didn’t lose my navel piercings, so that’s extra good.
I was also lucky enough to have a mod-friendly surgeon. A couple of my piercings are new enough to get irritated when I take them in and out, and doing so is difficult, so my surgeon offered to tape over them to get past the “no outside stuff in surgery” rule.

Well, Im sure the gravity of the procedure plays into it.
I’m also sure there’s a good deal of sexism involved.
Women are defined by their reproductive abilities much more than men. Also, they’re not really trusted to control those reproductive abilities themselves. Medical experts like to be in control, if only for financial reasons (hormonal treatments have to be surveilled by a doctor, and regularly renewed, and are in use even when not having sex, while theer’s little to no profit for a doctor in condoms and diaphragms)
It’s regarded a natural urge in women to want kids, while it’s almost expected from a man to try to wiggle out of that responsibility and have sex just for fun.
I could go on, but I guess this is not the place.
And as for the cats: offspring is one problem, but the other part is that female cats, if they’re not spayed, go into heat every few months. That state makes them very nervous and hyped, an they howl their lungs out. And if they can’t get laid, this state of things goes on for up to a month. it fucks with my sleep, but it’s also very stressful and unpleasant for the cat.
