Wonderful news

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #38 on:** February 02, 2011, 13:43:52 PM »

Lovely video. He's got a very sweet meow

and such a jet black shiny coat

Glad Mikey's "snip" went well. Our Groucho had his op at only 4 months (he's a big lad) and acted like nothing had happened when he got home although he was ravenous.

Brilliant news ...... xxx

hevern · « **Reply #34 on:** February 01, 2011, 19:37:18 PM »

thanks everyone, thats him home, he's not groggy at all, he had a little salmon and some kitty milk, and he is having a little sleep, glad its all over, jonesy was happy to see him, she had a good sniff at his bum but no hissing or anything so all good

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #33 on:** February 01, 2011, 17:59:48 PM »

Awww glad it went ok.
Jonesy might hiss at him as he will smell of the vets but this won't last

Remember to give him something light for dinner tonight, chicken or fish

hevern · « **Reply #32 on:** February 01, 2011, 17:53:09 PM »

just leaving now to go and get him, got him some a nice dinner ready lol

puggy1975 Zoe · « **Reply #31 on:** February 01, 2011, 17:15:49 PM »

Not long to go now Jan til Mikey will be coming home

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #30 on:** February 01, 2011, 16:51:16 PM »

If Jonewsy doent like him, try damping a towel and wiping it on Jonesy and then wiping it on Mikey

puggy1975 Zoe · « **Reply #29 on:** February 01, 2011, 16:24:54 PM »

Thats fab Jan, Mikey will be a hungy we boy when he is home, Hope Jonesy is ok with him when he comes home. Tyler usually hates Ollie for a bit when he back from vet as smells bit different but he she usually makes up with him quickly

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #28 on:** February 01, 2011, 16:06:39 PM »

Thats a good time cos he should be fully round by then and just wanting to eat and rush around again

hevern · « **Reply #27 on:** February 01, 2011, 16:05:50 PM »

thanks everyone, this day is dragging in lol, cant wait to get him back home, i even think jonesy is missing him, didnt think i would see the day that would happen, lol

Dawn F · « **Reply #26 on:** February 01, 2011, 16:03:19 PM »

he will be pleased to see you (and his bowl!) I'm sure!

hevern · « **Reply #25 on:** February 01, 2011, 14:57:53 PM »

phoned vet, mikeys has been done and everything went well, got to pick him up at 6.15. seems a long time to be in from 9 o clock this morning, my wee guy will be starving, hes not has anything to eat since 8 o clock last nite.

hevern · « **Reply #24 on:** February 01, 2011, 14:00:35 PM »

dropped mikey off at the vet this morning, i was a bit tearful when i left cos he was crying his wee head off but it will all be over soon i suppose, got to ring the vet at half two to see if he is ready to go home.

puggy1975 Zoe · « **Reply #23 on:** February 01, 2011, 11:22:10 AM »

Hey Jan let us know how Mikey is later, When Ollie got done he was flying about like normal after a couple hours of coming home. Tyler was a different story took let longer

hevern · « **Reply #22 on:** January 31, 2011, 20:30:17 PM »

thanks souffle, im sure he will be fine, glad your little monty is okay, my first cat i got when i was twelve was called monty, she was a lovely tortiseshell and she lived till she was 22.

when i got jonesy done last year she had some stitches but even though she had a collar on she still managed to get it off and pull out the stitches, it took her about three days before she was back to normal. Mostly because of the cone i think though cos she was having problems eating and goin to toilet with it on and she was also walking backwards!. After i took it off she didnt look so depressed.

souffle · « **Reply #21 on:** January 31, 2011, 19:55:49 PM »

Our kitten Monty was done a week ago at just over 5 months and you would not even know he had anything at all done. He was eating and running around as normal in the evening after the op and didn't seem to notice a thing!. I couldn't even see a wound but the testicles are only about the size of peas and the make a tiny incision to do the op. I think they used some tissue glue as no stitches. He will be fine and best get it over with and save you the worry of him starting spraying etc.
Monty's sister Callie was also done but even she only had two stitches and though it took her a little longer to perk up she is right as rain now

Good luck for tommorrow Mikey

hevern · « **Reply #20 on:** January 31, 2011, 19:26:50 PM »

oh thats a relief about the collar, thought he would have stitches, i have had cats for over thirty years but all females, so im in new territory here with mikey, still worrying about anaesthetic and all the usual things, i just freak when i know they are getting surgery, i always get really tearful, im such a sap, he he

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #19 on:** January 31, 2011, 19:21:51 PM »

Awww he will be fine ....
and as Gill says he probably wont need a collar. Boys don't even have stitches, the incision is so tiny you won't see it.
The whole thing takes about 5mins to do !!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #18 on:** January 31, 2011, 19:18:16 PM »

For most male cats they come home running around and he wont need a collar

Its only the poor ladees who suffer a bit.....typical!

Good luck for tomorrow and he will miss his food tonight

snarf · « **Reply #17 on:** January 31, 2011, 18:59:23 PM »

He'll barely notice it.

didnt even slow my boys down

hevern · « **Reply #16 on:** January 31, 2011, 18:44:56 PM »

YIKES!! Just phoned a local vet regarding the neutering scheme, and they said they can do him tomorrow morning at 9 o clock, wasnt expecting an appointment so soon, i am totally bricking it now! He is only five and a half months, will he be alrite? I got him a special comfy doughnut stlye coller, that you can inflate, dont want him to have one of the big cones round his head, jonesy hated that thing. My poor wee guy, im going to be worried sick all night now.

hevern · « **Reply #15 on:** January 31, 2011, 16:33:23 PM »

yeah he does ,this every time i clean their bowls, he is so funny, jonesy is not very food motivated so she just looks at him like he's daft, he he

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #14 on:** January 31, 2011, 00:54:11 AM »

Think Mikey is asking why the dishes have no food

puggy1975 Zoe · « **Reply #13 on:** January 30, 2011, 20:41:15 PM »

Just love Mikey Jan, its fab they both settled together now

No we dont have albums as such but if you go to the big block at the top above posts there is a wizzing block lol, go into fun and games and then galleries and you can post pics in there.

another way is to go to Our cats stories and post in there.

Or of course just go into general cay chatting and post there

Any probs let me know

thanks gill, still trying to find my way on the forum, would like to post an album but cant find a way of doing that, is it possible to do that?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #7 on:** January 30, 2011, 01:59:13 AM »

Great and that picture is just soooooooooooo

hevern · « **Reply #6 on:** January 30, 2011, 01:57:38 AM »

thanks everyone for the replies, i looked up the cats protection website and there is a neutering campaign going on in glasgow at the moment, which means that specified vets will neuter cats for £5, so im going to ring one of the local ones that are involved in the scheme on monday.

Mark · « **Reply #5 on:** January 30, 2011, 01:22:16 AM »

Yes you can get a CP voucher depending on your circumstances. Sometimes for part of the cost or even the full cost. There are 2 different vouchers. Also the RSPCA have mobile neutering clinic in some areas (we have them here in Kent) where the cost is £5.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #4 on:** January 30, 2011, 01:14:21 AM »

Definately get him done as soon as a vet says he is old enough and as Rosella says ring your local Cp branch or CP HQ to get a neutering voucher which you will be able to use at most vets.

I would think that Mikey is probably ready to be neutered now.

Jonesy is stunning

and Mikey

hevern · « **Reply #3 on:** January 30, 2011, 00:30:50 AM »

thanks rosella, yes mikey is with me for life, i wanted jonesy to have a friend, i think its best to have two cats, i love watching them running around the house and they have become really good mates, mikey has been with me since he was eight weeks and jonesy accepted him after only a couple of days (some hissing and a bit of a huff!). After that they started playing together and even sleeping in the same bed!

The PDSA said they have such a big waiting list that end of april is their earliest appointment. I called a private vet last week and they said it would cost £46, which is a lot cheaper than i thought it would be, so im just going to take him down and get him done there i think.

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #2 on:** January 29, 2011, 23:48:20 PM »

Hopefully you are planning to keep Mikey in until he is neutered?

Can you explain why PDSA of all people are delaying neutering until he is 8 1/2 months old

I'm gobsmacked! Is there any possibility of getting a voucher from Cats Protection and getting op earlier at a local vet?

I'm pretty sure hormones produce the not so nice odour of male cat pee and those kick in before 8 months
