I had a next-door neighbor that came by one afternoon and inquired if I had seen his cat named Stitch. He had been missing for two days, and the family was pretty upset by it because as with most pet owners it was like a child to them. I had asked about the name Stitch, thinking there must be a good story there, and there was. They thought the animal was a female and took it in to be spade. The incision was made only to find out that there were no ovaries. They made another incision in the appropriate area and discover that the animal was instead a male and that his testicals were receded inside his body, so they neutered him instead. Thus the name stitch because of the extra incision and sutures.
