What's the species?

True Story.

 

I once took a cat into the vet. It was my first time there so I had to fill out a form. One of the things they wanted to know was the pet’s species.

 

Crap. I dug deep into the part of my brain that was supposed to be holding on to my high school Latin, but I just couldn’t quite get it. I made a stab–felis domesticatus–no, can’t be right.

 

I walked up to the lady at the desk.

 

“Do people really know this?â€

 

“Know what?â€

 

“The species of their pet.â€

 

“Yeah, usually.â€

 

I pointed at my cat. “What’s this?â€

 

She blinked, then answered, “It’s a cat.â€
