Catherine's Mortimer seems to have a problem: Normally I am a vocal denigrator of descenting. I do not believe in cosmetic surgeries for the most part. BUT have a vet check for things like an impacted scent gland. Of course being a non-vet I'm sure there are better ways to state that. IF Mortimer has a problem and can't control himself he IS a good candidate for descenting surgery. It tends to be expensive (compared to neutering for example) but less than adrenalectomy (think I got that right). Good luck. Irene asked about Head Shape: Interesting conincidence. If I didn't answer your question ask again, maybe more specifically or such here or privately. We welcome private email: I say this since someone was worried about sending me a message. I spend all day programming computers so I welcome the diversion that such email provides... bill and diane killian zen and the art of ferrets [Posted in FML issue 1433]
