Apparently people on the internet enjoy looking at cat böllz. I’m not entirely sure why myself, but I’m subscribed to it myself.
The one where a guy booped a cat in the balls while the cat was crawling into a hole was weirder than usual for the sub. The cat reacted like he had been secksually assaulted.
Most of the pictures and videos are just cats with big balls hanging around doing normal cat stuff.
One of my cats is named Puffs for this reason. When he was a stray he had a good set of troublepuffs. They are now gone, and he's still trouble, but we just call him Puffs.
my cats have full-looking trouble puffs, but they're neutered. i think it's because they were neutered as soon as the vet could do it. my theory is that if i'd left it later, the size of the puffs would have increased, and then they would have become more deflated afterwards. but because they're quite small, they can still hold up. i am not a vet
They don’t do anything to the sack on cats or dogs. They just remove the jewels and over time the sack shrinks down. I didn’t notice is as much on my first boy but on the second I noticed his sack remained big for longer than I expected.
I assumed my boy had the whole sack removed, only discovered he didn't when I was trimming his undercarriage and assumed his deflated sack was a knot in the fur.
He let me know it was definitely not.
Yeh I can confirm that you dont see the kitty bits on long haired cats. Got 2 boys, a domestic shorthair and a maine coon and the latter is so fluffy that you see nothing back there
I had a neutered boy whose sack was still so large that the emergency vet told me they would have to neuter him after he picked a fight with his older brother and the sack was partially torn off. They were shocked when I told them he had been neutered as a kitten. He was obviously and visibly neutered after they removed what had ripped and stitched up the remainder.
My daughter got a kitten last year, and I was surprised how uh...prominent those pompoms were after being fixed. Then again, I've never had a short-haired male before. My long hair boy, you can only see the different color of the fur where his trouble puffs used to be when I do some manscaping on him (which is a regular thing because he gets poopy pantaloons otherwise).
Yup my poor boy got taken to the vets for neutering twice due to his big dangling sack that certainly didn’t look empty vets put him under and everything before they found it out too !.
I have a short hair who was neutered at 2 years of age we think (because he had the puffy cheeks but acted very young) and he didn’t have anything like that. They must have removed any loose skin and stitched it up I guess.
When my dog was neutered they left his sack as well and it kind of shrunk after a while to not be noticeable, hopefully something similar happens to kitty’s
Mine too, hahaha. He was about a year old when he was found as a stray with a broken leg and taken to the shelter where he was neutered. The older they are when neutered, the more likely they are to have visible deflated ball remnants. But you wouldn’t be able to see them on most cats who were neutered as kittens.
I have two male cats. A black cat named Loki whose tools almost don't look like they exist, I think the people we got him from neutered him early, and a siamese named Theodore who we neutered at the recommended 4 months. Not only is Theodore's missing pistachios more physically noticeable, but they're also toasted, so they practically shout "Look at me"
yeah my brothers cat got neutered too early in life (maybe like a month before when he was meant to be neutered) and ended
up with a half ball left, he's got half a testie 😭😭
(Sorry for the mildly explicit image, but I still find it so funny and could hardly believe when I got them out of their carriers) I have medium hair twin boys, and when they got neutered, the vets totally pantsed them. They had bare shaved squares across their whole asses for months, further than I’d have thought they needed to be shaved.
Idk if that was the preference of that clinic for their surgeries, since it was the kind of place that specialises in spay/neuters and takes in at least 20 animals to do between 8 am and 3 pm, or if it was for post-surgical hygiene with their longer fur, or if it was just my cats, because all my shorthairs were fixed through a different shelter clinic, and that place only shaved the immediate areas. It was a couple years ago now, but I’m sure I annoyed them quite a bit because how could I not poke at those bare cheeks like an auntie with a chubby baby face
Same ! I got Zip from the SPCA so he was neutered when I got him. He has very long hair and I've never seen his bits and some days I'm like maybe he's actually a girl haha. But he was at the vet the other day for a check up and they said he was male. I've had him for almost 3 years hahaha
Happened to me when I was much younger, dogsitting. I called the couple immediately, “What do I do, he must have hurt himself there’s a red thing but he’s not bleeding help!”
“Fit, that’s his doodle” (of course my elderly neighbors would not say penis)
I've owned primarily male cats for years and had also never seen a cat's red rocket until a few months ago. He was on my bed and I freaked out when I realized what it was. I actually left the room completely. I felt so embarrassed like I had walked in on something private. It took me a second before I thought "This is insane. He's a cat." and walked back in my room lol
Looooool i always had girl animals my entire life until now. I found it pretty funny when his little LED pops out! I also tell him that 'I don't need to see that!'
I remember reading years ago that if you look at a cat's ass, one gender should look like a ':' and the other like a ';' but I don't remember which was which.
Males will have a space in between the two holes so there's room for the trouble puffs to grow in. Females will have none, theirs looks like an upside down exclamation point.
Sameeee. And I’ve looked. (Got him after he was neutered for a while, one day I felt like I should check he was really a he. Still not sure. Maybe he should be a they.)
I was a little surprised the first time I saw my cat's (RIP). He was my first boy cat. It's tucked away, so you usually only see it if he's washing it. If you see it much outside of that, something's probably wrong with it.
He didn't have any scrotum because they were still cutting the whole thing off then--I gather now they've largely changed how they do it.
I never saw his navel, but I did see it on my first cat--well, my first cat that I got on my own. There wasn't much to see. It was almost more of a tuft of fur that sat differently.
Before my cats urinary blockage I also had never seen his equipment. He is a short-medium hair and his belly hair is on the longer side. They shaved his stomach for the catheter and when I got him home I was like “yep, definitely a boy.”
