The Big Boys--Photos of Cats Fixed Yesterday

This is the black and white male, from same colony, the 8th big male fixed from there so far. This one was fixed today. The others below, were fixed yesterday at the FCCO clinic.
There were two black males who were fixed from this colony. This one is big and fuzzy, with a half length tail, and very feral.
This long hair orange tabby tux was also very wild and scared but neutered just the same.
And of course there was "Calico John" neutered yesterday.
This is the smaller of two white males that were fixed yesterday.
The is the brown tabby male I call "The Retractor" because I thought he was neutered, but in reality, he had kind of retracted or pulled back his rather small balls and was not neutered. He also had a severe earmite infection and was treated for that, too, at the clinic.
I trapped two big white males, but this one was far bigger and more dominant than the other, who was younger. This guy was a mess, from fighting and just because a white cat living under a deck or house, gets to looking dirtier than say a black cat.
This is the big black male abandoned by neighbors when they moved out. He was fixed yesterday.This is the only girl of the 8 I took to the clinic from the cats the old couple feed. She's a torbi tux. Note her eye color. Then, can you guess which of the above males is her brother?

Today I took up four cats to be fixed. One was the black and white feral male. The other three were all teen girls. One of them was in heat already. Their mother, a stray taken in by a Lebanon family, already had five ten-day-old kittens in her latest litter. Mom will be fixed in six weeks, the five kittens, in seven weeks. The family is going to talk to the man across the street, who lives in a van outside his mother's rental, they tell me. There were cats crawling out of the woodwork at that duplex. I call such places, in a neighborhood, "The Stray Source".
