Re: kitties being spayed!


They usually bounce back pretty quickly, they might be dopey and sorry for themselves for a day or so or they might just act like nothing happened

Try and keep them calm(ish) for a couple of days but with kittens I know that's almost impossible Nothing really to worry about unless they won't leave their stitches alone in which case just keep an eye on them and use a cone collar if they persist. They heal pretty quickly really.

Hope they come through just fine and you are among people who worry too

Re: kitties being spayed!


What an important day it is for your kittens ........ they'll be fine, we tend to worry about them at a time like this but it's amazing how quickly they recover and bounce back after speying.

When you collect them they may be quiet and sleepy, you can put out a small amount of food for them in case they feel like eating. It's best just to leave them quiet and sleep it off. Cats vary in their reactions to the op, sometimes they are quiet until the next day, others can come home and act as if nothing has happened.

The important thing is to make sure they don't pull at their stitches, they may both be wearing collars which will hopefully prevent them from tugging at the stitches when they start to heal.

I would keep them indoors for a while too..

By tomorrow, after a good sleep, they will be back to normal..

Re: kitties being spayed!


thank you for your suggestions. they are indoor anyways so dont need to worry about that.
i just want them to be as comfortable as possible, doesn't help that they may have some little jumpy friends what a shame i feel so sorry for them.

Re: kitties being spayed!


You have been a good owner and sensible to have your kitties spayed. They will be much nicer cats without all those hormones to worry them!

Do let us know what your vet says about the unwelcome "guests"!
