A second cousin of mine worked in China as a surgeon. One day, his colleague challenged him to help sterilise a house cat. After all, he was very used to sterilising thousands of women during those early years of one child policy.
Being young and resourceful, he brought the right tool to his colleague's house. It was the first time he visited the house. He walked casually into the sitting room and sized up the pet cat. it was a male. While his colleague fed the cat, my cousin the "lightning steriliser" used his sharp tool and cut the testis off cleanly. The cat yowled and ran out of the house. Later the cat owner found that there was no blood and the wound healed beautifully.
My niece found the story barbaric. But well, all parties won. The owner saved money. The surgeon who turned vet gained a good reputation. The cat could roam anywhere but no longer cause any more unwanted kittens to be born. Any lady cat who gets to know it well no longer would get pregnant. Not a bad situation at all.
