My cat has to get neutered tomorrow |
|
Edited on Thu Feb-24-05 10:30 PM by StopThePendulum
I have to take him to the vet on the bus because not only do I not have a car, but because it's snowing, no one I know can either lend me one or give me a lift.
Boots has to fast--no food or water--because of the upcoming surgery. Now he's driving me up the wall with his incessant meowing, acting out, and planting his ass right between me and my work. What can I do to cope? He's a stomach with four paws screwed on and eats me out of house and home.

4. I guess he has "cat-stration anxiety" |
|
He knows something's up: the fact that his fuzzies are about to come off fur good. Hence, cat-stration anxiety.

3. he sounds like my cat. |
|
poor kitty, he knows somethings up. i can't think of anyway to shush him up but maybe if you gave him some extra loves and pets he'll go to sleep?

It is an option, you know.

--and the cat gets out for good! I just can't stand the skunky smell of cat spray! BTW, he is at the vet having the nuts getting shaken from his tree as I type.
He's about to become more of a stomach with a cat snapped on...
I wish I could get certain humans (hint: right-wing nuts) neutered! :evilgrin:

6. Actually, when we got Bear fixed |
|
We were suprised that he came home with balls. He was fixed through the Humane Society, and basically just got a vasectomy. They figured out it was too traumatizing when they had no balls to lick.

7. Your life is over till you get to the vet. |
|
I've done this with cat's, and kids(differant surgery). The cat was annoying, but a sweetheart, and I spent a lot of that very long night laughing and cuddling him. The kid was just terrifying. My vet made me put one of my cats on a diet, so I can sympathize about the stomach on four legs.

9. Odd. Usually the fasting the day before surgery doesn't need |
|
to start until 10pm. 12 hours is all they really need so as to not interfere with the anesthesia, especially with a boy. Boy cats take 5 minutes to fix.
