Oh Gillian - shame on you for forgetting the prawns! I'm glad she's home and it all went well.

Quote from: Gillian (Ambercat) on March 27, 2008, 23:35:33 PM

She's a bit quiet tonight - shame, I enjoyed seeing her bouncing of the walls LOL! And, she didnt eat the duck breast I got specially (to make up for forgetting the prawns!) - she got a plate of turkey mince with some lovely slivers of duck breast, hoovered down the turkey mince and sniffed suspiciously at the duck breast, walked off and left it - I ask you....!

Well she has to punish you for forgetting those prawns, doesn't she?!

Not as scary as the vet!

Scary that it isn't regulated

Millys Mum · « **Reply #71 on:** March 27, 2008, 18:45:30 PM »

She sounds great, its amazing how robust they are

The GAs these days are v.good, she would only have been under a few minutes too

When i had george neutered it took him a good 24hrs to recover (and i mean be able to stand up!!) i changed vets and later found out the place i started off with still use iron age GAs

Often pets dont make it through routine ops with them, so i could have easily lost George 2 years earlier than nature intended

Really glad to hear Gwynnie's home safe and sound again. How on earth could you forget her prawns, Gillian? What kind of a mum are you! Ollie says he is going to get the cat grape vine to tell her what she missed

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #68 on:** March 27, 2008, 13:24:22 PM »

When my first foster was spayed, she managed to get the collar off and climb the wardrobe the evening she came back - I had tried to stop her jumping!! And when KAz was spayed, she was more hyper after than she was before!

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #67 on:** March 27, 2008, 13:05:19 PM »

Glad everything went OK for Princess Gwynnie

Ellie · « **Reply #66 on:** March 27, 2008, 12:50:21 PM »

Awwww bless her

After the boys had the snipn'chip Guinness bounced off the walls and ran riot (usual for him

) Widget took over 3 days to get anywhere near back to normal

Strange how the anaesthic affects some and not others.

Gwynnie - MUM FORGOT YOUR PRAWNS!!!!!!!

however Auntie Ellie has some

Hangs head in shame

- anyway she doesnt know she missed out on prawns!

Quote from: Desley (booktigger) on March 27, 2008, 11:17:02 AM

Glad she is fine - it is amazing how well they bounce back after ops.

It surprised me Des - the last time one of mine was spayed was 10 yrs or so ago - and I remember her being really groggy after the op, still really sleepy, and not wanting to move around much - think the anaesthics are different these days?

Quote from: Ellie on March 27, 2008, 12:18:52 PM

How is the gorgeous Gywnnie today Gillian?

Not quite bouncing of the walls today LOL! but she's fine, been licking her stitches

again everyone!

She didnt get the prawns after all - I walked all round Sainsburys because I had some other things to get as well, but was so focused on singing to myself 'Shes coming home, she's coming home, Gwynnie's coming home' that I forgot the blinkin prawns LOL! Anyway, she had a large plate of turkey mince instead!

She's calmed down a bit now - think she was a high as a kite earlier

tut tut

Glad she's feeling better

Great that she bounced back so swiftly and all is well!!

Reynard · « **Reply #56 on:** March 26, 2008, 22:46:56 PM »

Glad Gwynnie's gotten through her op OK, Gillian!

Please give her a cuddle on my behalf.

Back to a comment earlier in the thread, if you're not comfortable about showing her, then there's nothing wrong with that. I wouldn't show the Tobster as he'd leave a trail of shredded judges and stewards in his wake...

Pearl is quite happy at being shown (as many of her Aunties know) but she WILL growl at cats she takes a dislike to - at her last show, she gave the ginger boy penned next to her a right old what to...

She's not quite the angel she looks...

candyshandy · « **Reply #55 on:** March 26, 2008, 21:00:41 PM »

Lol, glad to hear she's back to her normal cheeky self

Ellie · « **Reply #54 on:** March 26, 2008, 19:51:11 PM »

LOL sounds as if she's glad to be home bless her

Poor Joe and Honey

That's Gwynnie's revenge for you

Did she enjoy her prawns?

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #53 on:** March 26, 2008, 19:38:34 PM »

I can't believe her! - she's dashing around like she's never had a major op - jumping on poor old Joe, chasing Honey, up onto the dining room table, down again, out the patio doors (doors open - pretty mild here today!) runs round the side of the house, only to come back in through the cat flap in the back door, then back out the patio doors again! Up the stairs, leaps on the bed, back down the stairs, out the patio doors.....................!

She's also following me around and flinging herself on her back in front of my feet, she's gonna trip me up soon I know it LOL!

Ellie · « **Reply #52 on:** March 26, 2008, 17:28:13 PM »

Awww bless her what a very brave and clever girl she is

Great pic (as always) Gillian, she looks as though she's never been away

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #51 on:** March 26, 2008, 17:20:04 PM »

Here she is, just home - hopped out the cat basket and immediately went round greeting all the others with her little tail up in the air - so pleased to be home and telling everyone what a brave girl she's been! Seems very perky, not too wobbly. I'm really proud of her, she was a little bit scared this morning on the journey and waiting to be booked in (hid under her vetbed!), but not panicky at all, clever girl!

Oh, and she's had the op on the flank - oh well, never mind.....

Ellie · « **Reply #50 on:** March 26, 2008, 16:51:53 PM »

So pleased that all went well and the gorgeous Gwynnie will be home soon

Sending her lots of gentle cuddles and hope she enjoys her prawns

Finally it's all over you must be so relieved Gillian!! Hope Gwynnie's not so full of grudge and forgive you quickly We are all relieved, too!!

Relieved, yes, and some! - whether she will ever forgive me or not is another matter LOL!

Hope this will now put paid to the 'gentleman caller' who's been singing softly outside the window the past couple of nights LOL!

Hi Gillian just dropped in to see if Gwynnie has had her Op yet?

Aha, was just going to post! Thanks for asking - yes she's had her op and is fine apparently. I can pick her up at 4.30, sooner than I was expecting, so I cancelled an appointment I had - she's much more important LOL!

Glad She's OK

Thank you

- I shall feel really mean when I go to bed as none of them will be able to have their bedtime snackette seing as she can't have anything more to eat! not fair to feed them and leave her out - same in the morning, there will be a look of disbelief on all their faces as I disappear out the door without feeding them LOL!

We have one of those, it has been very helpful so far. For some cats, I prefer front openers, I can 'herd' them in then, but others I have only been able to use the top opener for.
