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!  ;)

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

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

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

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

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.

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
