I was trying to add this example to this trope and it didn’t take, despite the fact that it didn’t run afoul of Zero Content Examples. Then I saw that editing was locked for this trope.
So here is the example.
Web Animation
- The titular cat in Simons Cat is positively mortified when the kitten tells him what has happened to him from visiting the vet in the cartoon, The Snip

This is what I was trying to add in the trope description, inspired by your comment, but it is not taking from iOS when I add it into the main trope page despite it being unlocked for editing now.
Though not always the case, cat examples tend to Played for Drama and dog examples tend to get Played for Laughs.
Has anyone else noticed that this trope tends to be Played for Laughs when involving dogs but Played for Drama when involving cats? Examples of the former are the page image, Greg The Bunny, and any time a dog covers his private area at the mention or thought of the procedure, something you don't really see with cats. Examples of the latter are Warrior Cats, Tailchaser's Song, and The Book Of Night with Moon. Neutering is even a dramatic plot point in Tailchaser's Song. There are exceptions: Garfield's fear of neutering was Played For Laughs and in Babe Rex the dog's neutering was Played For Drama. I'm just wondering if anyone else noticed this.
