Cool, so it ranges from approximately one to six weeks dependant on the cat? I've never let any of my female cats get older than six months before a spay that I can remember so it's new territory for me.

It varies alot, dakota started to improve after a week and got much better after a few more.

If your on about females in can differ, some of my females have been like different cats within the time it takes for the spay wound to heal....Males yes approx 6-8wks but then the sudden effect of them stopping playing horsies is usually not too long..... ;)

The breeder that my Bengals are from says 6 weeks but I think it can vary from cat to cat - male cats can stay fertile for a while after neutering too
