Title: Raffiki is having the "snip"
Post by: sheryl on September 04, 2007, 09:36:41 AM

OH took my little man to the vets this morning and I am a bag of nerves, I know that being neutered is only a little op but I felt so sorry for Raffiki, he looked so confused when i put him in the carrier and he really didnt appreciate not having any breakfast.

What didnt help is that Mellika was running around calling for him with a really big Bengal voice - i often wonder how such a little kitten can make so much noise.

Its going to be a very long morning until I can phone the vets at 1pm.

I'm sure he'll be fine, and the time will fly by if you stop looking at the clock  ;)

Let us know how he gets on,  and give him a little head rub from me and Max  :hug:

He'll be fine but i know that won't stop you worrying.  He'll soon be home as though nothing had happened but expecting to be pampered more than usual  ;D

Thanks, Im trying not to "clock watch" but its hard

Good luck for your 3 Felix, we are going to wait a few weeks to get Mellika "done" - we are getting Raffiki Neutered at 5 months because he is a "big boy" - actually he might not be a "big boy" anymore !!

I'm sure he'll be absolutely fine, he's probably been done by now and is sleeping it off  :)  Give him a big head kiss from me and the boys when he gets home  :Luv:

Raffiki is home and absolutely fine, apart from missing part of his anatomy you would never know he had been to the vets, he has eaten a huge tea, had huggles and is now running around like a maniac.

Phew panic over so hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight.
