There might be just a little 'tweak' if the stitches are tangled in scar/scab (sorry!) Only a momentary feeling as each one comes out.
She'll be fine.
What a good girl she's been - and the vet will be pleased it's gone so well. All good experience for other oldies undergoing surgery.

That has healed up well Kazz, I hope it all goes straightforward for Cleo tomorrow......
For her age she has healed brilliantly I think. But I am biased:roll:
Looks like it has healed perfectly Kazz.......She ixs such a good girl leaving the stitches alone!
Oh well done Cleo!!! I know from experience having stitches out is no picnic, but as she's been a brave ol' bird so far I'm sure she'll take the whole think in her stride!!
Hugs to Cleo, Kazz!!!
They must itch her like crazy as when you are fussing her; she turns to that side to be scratched/stroked you have to be quick otherwise she has you rubbing the stitches:roll: although she settles for a rub just between the stitches and her ear:D
oh bles her. Didnt it loko sore on the day of the op. Poor thing. I do hope all goes well for her. AND you too of course!

That wound looks fine Kazz. I always remove the stitches from my dogs and Cats myself, and looking at that, I dont expect Cleo will feel a thing.

Sure everything will be fine Kazz. Great that she has been such a good girl with her stitches. I agree they must be itching a bit by now...

Kazz, I reckon when they are out she will look at you as if to say "Is it alright if I have a good scratch now Mom?":-D

Good luck Cleo. She really does look to have been healing very well:D
Well excellent news the stitches came out with no trouble she never even blinked.:roll: all my worrying for nothing.:D slight hiccup to mar the day though the lump he removed not the big one the other nearer her ear but still on her neck has come back and the result is cancer,:( but on the bright side it she is an elderly cat the site where the lump was has healed well and she had no other lumps or bumps - so we are staying with fingers crossed:-D and we'll see how it goes. Hoping he got the whole thing out before it had chance to spread.
So we are happy with the day and brought her two soft fleecy blankets in cream for her chair and the computer table. :roll:

Glad the stitches came out well Kazz and hope Cleo enjoys her soft fluffy blankets. I bet she is enjoying all the fuss and attention she is getting. Dont worry about the other lump - she is happy and enjoying her life with you x

Hmm, mostly good, some not so good then, BUT - good that she had the big non-cancer cyst, which made you go to the vet to find the little thing, hopefully nice and early.
Fingers crossed it's all out & brings no more trouble.
Well done Cleo

Aww good girl Cleo:)
I'm glad - almost - everything went well:)
I hope he got it all:)
Glad to hear all went well with the stiches Kazz and I hope all will be well for Cleo ((((hugs))))
Thanks J.
And I forgot to mention to you all, when the vet lifted her out of her basket today she started to purr as soon as he kissed the top of her head.:roll: She's always been a flirt; but he adores her:D for some unknown reason.;)

Karen perhaps she has got on her records at the vet "the nicest cat in the practice" :)
I doubt that Emma she hardly goes enough to warrant that till this cyst. We have had about 19/20 of their 23 years without them seeing the vet at all either of them.:-D
So glad it all went well Kazz :D Fingers crossed they got all the cancerous lump out and she can continue to enjoy her pampered life :-D
