Maybe they glued the stitches

Probably, they knew she'd be active.

That is one beautifully coloured tum. Such a very pretty gal

Photos from today:

It's a bit scary how active she is, and I keep checking the stitches, but they're holding!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #65 on:** November 21, 2014, 20:39:37 PM »

Yes it wears off

DaveD · « **Reply #64 on:** November 21, 2014, 17:34:02 PM »

She seems to be eating OK, not too much unless it's chicken or yoghurt. She's back to trying to get my dinner, but once I've fought her off and finished it, she seems not to be bothered about eating!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #63 on:** November 21, 2014, 14:03:35 PM »

hope tummy ok now cos it was lupins nueter that started his tummy off, well maybe all the eating but took months to sort out.

yes andrew its this froig they are using that makes them eat and go loopy!

it also helps them to recover quicker but personally i ask that it not be used in ops now as would rather they came round slowere and calmer.

a female would take 24 hrs to be fully round.

my vet say they dont give it too older cats when 15yr old sasa had an op last year.

DaveD · « **Reply #62 on:** November 21, 2014, 06:23:26 AM »

She had a funny turn last thing last night as I was about to turn in, and started attacking my hand ( tortitude!). She's done this occasionally before, and I just remove my hand until she calms down, but this time I let her get away with it, after the big and confusing day she'd had. She isn't breaking skin, it's just play, but I don't want to encourage the behaviour, as she may play rougher when she gets bigger.
So far this morning, she's completely back to normal.

hollycat · « **Reply #61 on:** November 21, 2014, 00:33:06 AM »

She looks great especially after such a big op for little cat

Its a long time since I had a female cat neutered and she stayed in cat hospital for 48hrs and she wasn't running around for at least a week after she came home. It's amazing what they can do these days.

Mind you my two boys came home, no stitches and no bald spots. They ate and ate and ate

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #60 on:** November 21, 2014, 00:26:19 AM »

She looks brilliant and no collar either so even more great

DaveD · « **Reply #59 on:** November 20, 2014, 20:53:54 PM »

She's almost there! Here she is earlier this evening, playing with her favourite toy. I let her catch it a bit more easily, so she didn't put a strain on her stitches.

sheryl · « **Reply #58 on:** November 20, 2014, 19:34:33 PM »

She is adorable

A midline spay is quite unusual to be honest - hope she is feeling back to her normal self soon x

DaveD · « **Reply #57 on:** November 20, 2014, 19:11:54 PM »

I didn't think to ask. I was more interested in seeing that it was a midline spay, which I'd never seen before. I've just done a bit of reading up, and I now know why the vet was so pleased with Lily's behaviour, as flank spays are preferred for difficult to handle cats.
Lily has settled down a bit now, though she's not quite back to normal. She's sitting alongside me, rather than on me, most of the time. I think today has confused her. She even turned her nose up at a bit of yoghurt, until I tried to give it to Bramble (who didn't want it), then she gulped it down!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #56 on:** November 20, 2014, 18:24:30 PM »

Yes a dilute tortie then

Sounds like they used ummmmmmmmmm forget name as part of anesthetic...............useless statement feally

Something like ketamin

DaveD · « **Reply #55 on:** November 20, 2014, 17:03:18 PM »

She fits most of the definitions I've seen, but she hasn't bitten or scratched me. She'll probably try and bully me when she's bigger.

mad_lilli · « **Reply #54 on:** November 20, 2014, 16:29:18 PM »

Glad she's home and healthy. Sounds like she'll have the tortitude then!!!!!!

DaveD · « **Reply #53 on:** November 20, 2014, 16:16:22 PM »

Home already, and she's had some chicken - I thought she wouldn't stop eating!
The vet rang before 3, so I arranged a lift and went to get her. She's hardly broken her stride, and is as boisterous as ever, but she hasn't bothered taunting Bramble. Yet!

Quote from: mad_lilli on November 17, 2014, 18:57:58 PM

Has she got a little bit of peachy coloured fur, making ber a dilute tortie????

The vet put down "grey and tortoiseshell" on the paperwork for the microchip, so you were right.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #52 on:** November 20, 2014, 15:47:13 PM »

Home soon

DaveD · « **Reply #51 on:** November 20, 2014, 10:42:06 AM »

Bramble is happy, at least. I can leave the door open for her without worrying that Lily will get out!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #50 on:** November 20, 2014, 10:26:59 AM »

I am sure she will be fine but its a hard wait

Dawn F · « **Reply #49 on:** November 20, 2014, 10:11:14 AM »

bless her, it is a hard day for the owner but I'm sure she will be fine, the start of a better life for her!

DaveD · « **Reply #48 on:** November 20, 2014, 10:09:39 AM »

Lily is at the vet for spaying and microchipping, and I'm biting my nails until 4 pm, when I've got to phone them. The vet was happy with her general health, so I shouldn't have anything to worry about. Still do though.

Lyn (Slugsta) · « **Reply #47 on:** November 17, 2014, 20:46:01 PM »

She is utterly beautiful!

DaveD · « **Reply #46 on:** November 17, 2014, 20:04:07 PM »

I'll be getting some ready cooked chicken breast from Iceland on Thursday ready for when she comes home. It's not something I'd buy for myself, much too expensive, but all the cats I've had have loved it.
As for the markings, she seems to be a tabby, but only if the light is right!

maryas · « **Reply #45 on:** November 17, 2014, 19:00:00 PM »

SCRAPS of chicken

Hope she gets a full chicken breast on Thursday

Mary

mad_lilli · « **Reply #44 on:** November 17, 2014, 18:57:58 PM »

She's very cute and seemingly not too proud to beg ............ Has she got a little bit of peachy coloured fur, making ber a dilute tortie????

DaveD · « **Reply #43 on:** November 17, 2014, 18:27:01 PM »

A few more of Lily getting some scraps of chicken. I think she likes chicken!

hollycat · « **Reply #42 on:** November 17, 2014, 02:29:58 AM »

Lily is gorgeous.

My two boys used to have that butter wouldn't melt look, didn't last long

now the worlds hooliest hoolicats, kittens, not quite 10 months yet. Might not make it if they scratch anymore wallpaper off

maryas · « **Reply #41 on:** November 17, 2014, 01:58:09 AM »

Aaw bless her

Bonnie's never had the need to beg with me being so soft

The only one begging in this house is me when she walks all over my face in bed and I beg her not too

Mary

I think chicken will be a good idea for Thursday. Here's Lily begging for some today:

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #36 on:** November 16, 2014, 15:06:27 PM »

Sly behave

LuuuuuuuuuupiN

DaveD · « **Reply #35 on:** November 16, 2014, 14:44:19 PM »

Fun and games today.
I bought a load of meat yesterday, and this morning I split it and packed it for the freezer. Some of it had those pieces of absorbent paper that soaks up excess blood. They went in the bin, but Lily managed to get them out and started chewing on them. I managed to get them away from her before she swallowed any, but it was a bit of a battle.
Crafty little minx!

Too late, she already has!

Purdy Bear · « **Reply #32 on:** November 16, 2014, 09:04:55 AM »

She looks a total sweetheart, who is going to have you wrapped round her little paw very quickly.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #31 on:** November 16, 2014, 00:23:48 AM »

She needs chicken and yogurt lol

DaveD · « **Reply #30 on:** November 15, 2014, 23:48:34 PM »

She can have some yoghurt, that'll take her mind off her ordeal! (memo to self, get some natural yoghurt for Lily)
