Of course the cat will growl and spit at the operator and bite him if she can. But the real question is whether he is a vet or a vivvisector. Her bad language throws no light on it one way or the other...But suppose what you are up against is a surgeon whose intentions are wholly good. The kinder and more conscientious he is, the more inorexibly he will go on cutting. If he yielded to your entreaties, if he stopped before the operation was complete, all the pain up to that point would have been useless...after that operation either the wounded stump heals of the man dies. If it heals, the fierce, continuous pain will stop.
