The Watcher Chapter 3
"Puss 'n Boots"
Randy's POV
I open my eyes and see two big green eyes staring back at me.
'Mrrow' Anders says.
'So, you finally decided it was alright to spend the night with me, huh?' I ask. When I go to move him to the bed so I can sit up, he flinches.
'It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you. I won't let anything bad happen to you, although you might debate that after you hear what mom has in store for you' I tell him.
'We'll talk about that later. Now, how about some breakfast?' I ask.
'Meow' Anders says, then hops (or maybe stumbles is a more accurate word) from the bed, and looks at me as if to say "well come on, what are you waiting for?"
He watches me while I put on a shirt and a pair of jeans, then I follow him upstairs to the smell of…could it be? Yes, burnt French toast! My favorite breakfast item next to charred scrambled eggs.
Later That Day
Randy's POV
'Anders, we need to have a talk about something that mom wants to have done to you' I begin. He blinks once and waits for me to continue.
'There's this procedure that vets can do to an animal that they like to go ahead and do when an animal reaches your age. It's sometimes known as being fixed. What will happen, and we're talking about mom here, so you know it'll happen whether you or I want it to or not, is the vet will basically remove your testicles.' Anders starts to squirm in my arms. I can't say that I blame him. I wouldn't want to talk about somebody I've only seen once before in my life removing those particular parts.
'What that will do is eliminate your urge to have sex. I'm not going to lie to, you probably will experience some pain after the surgery is done. The vet would probably either give you numbing medicine or anesthesia for the surgery. Just remember one thing: If it was up to me, you wouldn't be having this done.' We finish up our talk and I let him down from my lap. I sure hope giving my kids the sex talk is easier for me than that was.
I get up from the couch and walk over to the door where Anders is at and open it to let him out, instructing him not to go far. After that, I busy myself with my chores since it's a Saturday.
After about two hours of dusting, cleaning, picking up, throwing out, scrubbing, and laundering, I'm upstairs getting the towels from the bathroom when I hear a cat howling outside. I drop the towels and run to the nearest window to see what's going on. I can't help but laugh when I see. Anders is down in the backyard, and there's another cat down there who I guess he managed to talk into being his first.
'Anders! What are you doing?' I yell. He ignores me and starts to mount the other cat. Thank God mom isn't home to see this. I can just imagine her sitting Anders down to tell him that he needs to make sure he isn't taking advantage of the other cat, and to make sure that he realizes that he's only one of two partners in the relationship, and therefore needs to respect her opinion and decision, and if she doesn't want to have sex, it's wrong for him to force her. Now, I agree with all that, except for two things. One, he's a cat, and two, I'm sure that the other cat is just as horny as he is. However, on the bright side, if mom did set him down to have this talk, he'd probably be so turned off about sex that he wouldn't need to be neutered because he'd be turned off from sex forever. I close the blinds and shake my head. I got a little too close to seeing what kitty porn would be like. I don't think the world is ready yet to see something like Puss 'n Boots at a video store.
A/N: Puss 'n Boots. Hmm. The images that come to mind are…well, let's not go there.
Anyways, I finally got around to updating after almost three months. Sorry it took so long.
By the way, just in case I got any information wrong in this chapter, remember, I'm not a vet. Even though I've been away for long enough to have become one, probably. No, I'm just kidding about that. I'm sure everyone has to work very hard to be a vet, and thank you to all of you who do.
I hope that all of you out there who are still reading will also review.
Thanks for doing both.
-Yours truly, Randy Taylor
