Vocabulary Lesson
Jul. 30th, 2007 10:25 pm"Shotted" is not, the best of my knowledge, a word in English. Your pet was not "shotted". It was vaccinated, immunized, or given it's shots.
"Spade" is a small tool for the moving of dirt. It is not, unless things go horribly wrong, used in the context of an ovariohysterectomy, or spay. The only way in which your cat was "spaded" is if you hit it with a shovel. I will not be hitting your pet with a shovel, so do not present her to me to be "spaded".
Also, since by definition a spay is the removal of ovaries and uterus, I will not be able to spay your male pet. I can probably, however, arrange a castration.
I most certainly will not be "spading" and "shotting" your tom cat.
