The cat got spayed on Thursday. We were all a bit disturbed to see a big patch of her fur shaved, a nasty cut with stitches on her flank and a lampshade on her head. She was miserable last night and mostly quiet except for the frantic run around the house when she managed to get her lampshade off and we got it back on again. Mr. Waffle, who pretends not to like her, bought chicken specially for her and she was tempted to try a little bit. She was a bit chirpier on Friday. By today she was pretty much back to normal, but she has to be kept quiet and indoors for 10 days with the lampshade on. Frankly, I can see this proving challenging, she’s taken to sitting by the (temporarily locked) cat flap and mewing pathetically. Poor Hodge.

Don’t fancy your chances there. That sounds like a cat on a mission to get outside. Good luck.

So distressing for you now, once kittycat has healed a bit more all will be well. At least she has been given the lampshade. I fear the same as my Zebbycat goes in for a “dental” plus having a small cyst removed from his lower back next week. We will see……
That wee kitten has grown into a glorious looking cat, she looks utterly huggable. I know – she’d probably deliver “claws out to me”, however she is beautiful

So far so good, L, only a week to go.
Thanks Michelle, actually she’s very good about not using her claws, it’s her teeth you need to watch out for…
