all three of my boys are going for the snip tomorrow i know it should have been done earlier but my holidays have only just kicked in. i'm not to worried about the op(she says) i was just wondering if anyone had noticed any personality changes with there cats afterwards.also will i have to make any changes to their diet. its going to be strange with only phoenix in the house tomorrow.
-
Gosh, all three?!!!
Havent noticed any difference with little Gwynnie (mind you its only been a couple of weeks) - and she was full of beans when she came back from the op, leaping about all over the place like she hadnt just had a major op LOL! I'm feeding her the same as she was having before the op. ;D
-
i dont think you will notice anything different about them and they will be fine :hug:
-
Helen can probably tell you how her two did as they went' in for the snip together (I might be wrong?).
-
Milo went in yesterday and came out as lively as ever despite the nurse telling us he would be sleepy for 24-48 hours :Crazy:
As to whether its going to have calmed him down we won't know for a while, part of me hopes it will as his crazy but then part of me hopes it won't change him too much as his such a little character

Hi,
I had my two done about a year ago and was really very worried.
I shouldn't have been, they were absolutely fine and didn't loose any of their fun. :evillaugh:
In fact, as a bit of irony, as I am typing about this jack is chasing his tail in circles on the floor next to me ;) Time to get some toys out I think!!
Keeping my fingers crossed for your three boys.
-
Good luck for tomorrow :hug:
-
How old are they? The younger they are the quicker they bounce back. George was a young adult and had a large well developed package to remove and he noticed this more :evillaugh:
If anything changes they become more loving, relaxed and more homely.
In regards to diet, neutering in itself doesnt make them fat, its more to do with neutered cats travelling less and living more laid back lives. Just monitor their food intake and if they start to gain reduce a little ;D
-
the only reason i ask about food is that they are indoors only. so i have to monitor there exercise any hoo. got the cat carriers out for tomorrow and found sox asleep inside he didn't want to get out bless. the kittens are nine months i would have got them done sooner but things at work were kinda crap so taking time off was a bit iffy
-
I'm sure they'll be absolutely fine :) There was no change in the boys' personalities - they were loving and affectionate before and they still are :) Mine are indoor only (at the moment - cat proofing should be done soon :wow:) and they eat the same as they did before. They've filled out but I think that's because they were still babies when they were neutered at 6 months. Riley was always big but in a string bean kind of way, he's really filled out now, not an ounce of fat on him though - it's all muscle ;D
-
I'v e had three boys, who were all fine. It doesn't stop you fretting though, does it! :hug:
-
i thought i'd be fine today but i can't stop panicing i feel sick and the haven't even gone yet
-
They will be fine, and will no longer be at risk of cancer
-
Is today the day?
-
yep setting off soon just got to catch them first
-
Aw they will be fine hun....trust me! ;D
Good Luck...... :hug: :hug:
-
They will be fine :hug:
-
Keep us posted with how they get on :hug:
-
just dropped them off after trying to catch them. Phoenix is very confused as to where they have gone. gimley darted out of the cage under the desk but he always does that. why is it you cant get them in the carrier and then they don't want to get out. i'm ok now just feels odd them not being here
-
Good luck, hope everything is fine (it will be) :hug:
-
Good Luck from me, too :hug:
-
just phoned the vet there comimg round but i can't pick them up for another hour oh the pain i didn't think i'd miss them this much :'(
-
Not too long to wait now
-
there all back safe and sound sox is fine like nothing happened gobbled down the food the vet gave me for them i never seen him eat that quick and he's the combine harvester of the bunch all rerady causing havoc.patch is not to bad either just giving me filthy looks. gimley took the longest to come round(he is the eldest) so he is a bit dazed and confused + he couldn't get out of his carrier fast enough its so nice there back home
-
Great news!
You must be sooo relieved. Hope they all have a good night.
-
strange thing is now they won't leave the cat carrier alone :Crazy:
-
Glad they are home with you.
-
Great that they are back home all safe and sound ;D
-
Yay! Glad the boys done well! :)
-
Well done boys :Luv:
-
Glad they are all okay :Luv:
-
Awww sending them hugs and fuss and hope they feel all better. :hug:
-
there better today just quiter than usual but i'm sure that will soon change
-
i was just wondering how long will it take to heal. soxs seems to have some dried blood round/in the hole he doesn't seem interested in cleaning it at the mo should i leave him to it or lend a hand in a day or two
-
Id leave him to sort it out himself.....In the first few days you should'nt really let them over clean the area so this is probably a good thing! ;)
-
thanks hun they seem to be back to normal just about one of them was sick while we were out i'm just glad it was on the hideous cushion and not the carpet
-
Glad they are doing well
