My cat is being spayed today and I’m an anxious mess.

[DrunkenElephant]

I know it’s ridiculous, I know it’s a standard operation but I cried dropped her off at the vets.

I lost my 11 month old girl last year very suddenly after several trips to the vets, I had to rush her to an emergency vet in the middle of the night and she didn’t come home, I posted at the time under a different name. I think that’s the reason for my extreme worry today.

I have asked them to call me when she’s out of surgery and I can collect her at 4pm but I know I’m not going to relax until I get that call.

How do these furry little dictators make us love them so much?

It's going to be fine. Try to relax.
It is very much a routine operation and all vets see dogs and cats daily.
But that said I very much know the feeling and you will be ok once you have the call.
Just relax and busy yourself. From one cat mum to another.
Yes they all make you love them. That's the joy of having them in our lives and always the good stuff outweighs the bad.

@Crazybunnylady123 thank you for your reply, I’m working from home today from 10am so I’ll keep busy.

She is going to absolutely hate me when she gets home, I anticipate at least a week of angry glares.

apart from refusing to walk in her surgical vest. My girl was completely fine! Removed the vest and she never looked back!

I sobbed all the way home dropping the Bengal off for Pom Pom removal. It’s totally normal imo.

have you rung them? I don’t wait I need to know they’ve woken up.

My girl is having five teeth out tomorrow. Usually it doesn't bother me as my previous cats had multiple surgeries. But she was absolutely terrified when she went in for stage one last week. Shaking and clinging to me.

I haven’t rang yet, I did ask them to call me as soon as she was out and they said they would try, but to call at 2pm if I hadn’t heard anything so I’m counting down the minutes.

@Toddlerteaplease I hope it goes ok tomorrow, I wish there was a way we could get them to understand that we’re trying to make them better and they’ll be home soon. I did tell my girl that on the way this morning but she just glared at me.

Ive spent my lunch break ordering new treats and a shiny new water fountain for her that I can collect before I pick her up. Hopefully that will make her love me again 😂

Awww best wishes to her for a speedy recovery. You do know that you haven’t offered the cat tax?! 😻💐

Oh my goodness I completely forgot! cat tax paid.

I have just rang and she’s out and absolutely fine ❤️❤️

She’s gorgeous! What is her name? I’m so glad she’s doing well and that you will get to pick her up later.

This was me a couple of months ago, I dreaded it but she was amazing with it. They glued her so no cone and she never once chewed it. Her fur is pretty much back. Vets were amazing, buy some dreamies she'll love you forever,😻

Has she forgiven you yet@DrunkenElephant ?

@Pudmyboy It took a couple of days and a lot of Dreamies but we are firm friends again!
