How to stop kitten jumping after spaying

[incendio]

My kitten was spayed today and the vet obviously advised not to let her jump up on the couch/ the bed in case she rips her stitches.

I've put out her cat bed, put her favourite blanket on the floor but every time I take my eyes off her she jumps up beside me on the couch and now the bed. And then jumps back off for a wee or something to eat. Earlier she jumped from the couch to the armchair

I don't really know what I can do but I'm so worried she's going to harm herself.

Oh god good luck!

It was impossible to stop mine she was jumping from the bed to windowsill when shut up in a room and then we gave up and let her out she even climbed the fence and sat on the top of it! We have a cat proofed garden though so she couldn't get out out.

We didn't tell the vet but she was fine at all her check ups

You can't.

I tried to tell mine not to jump but she wouldn’t listen. She hated her little jumpsuit too. She’s fine now jumping and all.

Well it's a relief to know your cats have all been the same! When the vet told me to keep her on the ground I did think "you clearly haven't been in her company long enough if you think I'll be able to make her do anything!"

She's having a snooze on the bed beside me now after sniffing at her blanket on the floor and giving me a look that plainly said "you stupid woman, why have you thrown my good blanket on the ground?!"

Our clinic never gives that advice. We say they can't go out for about 5 days, but that's it. I wouldn't worry.

You can't, they're little buggers.
