I suppose this is a commentary on marriage. It's amusing. Too bad the wife isn't up for an open marriage. Well done and best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Jay Squires
The equivalent of of a cat's being neutered, I imagine would be a vasectomy, right? I'm sorry, but I'm trying to make some sense out of Tom's remark. Reading it might lead the reader to conclude that a vasectomy increased the man's sex drive (especially for forbidden outside activity), which is why he commiserated with the cat. I don't think that' what you intend his words to imply, only what comes across, at least to me.
BTW, are you sure Author Notes are allowed in the contest? Your notes tells too much of what should be left for the story to tell. If it were me, I'd remove the notes before it goes before the judges.

Thanks for the great review! And LOL on the "V" comment - actually was just commiserating on the surgery with no reflection on the increased drive... however, though... maybe on the possibility of a "decreased" one!
Too, I didn't see anything about author's notes, so will check it out. Thanks again for the great review - so glad you enjoyed!

Thanks so much for the great review and comments! That's an old story we've told many times at events with friends and family (happened back in the mid-70's when we got Fezz for our middle daughter one Christmas)... Thanks again for the great review - so glad that you enjoyed!
