Due at work the day after neutering

[Boo2400]

My cat is being neutered in a couple of days. I have that day off work, he is in the vet at 9am. I have work the next day for 8 hours so the cat would be alone. My partner is home during the morning for a few hours but for probably 4 or a little more hours he will be home alone.
I've read you aren't meant to leave them for 24 hours but neither of us can take another day off. Will he be okay?

I've never stayed off work after any of mine have been neutered.

They tell you that your sweet kitten needs to stay calm for 24+ hours etc etc

No one tells the kittens and they are whizzing around like usual from when you get home 🫠

I had to go to work the day after Penelope was done. She was fine.

We’ve got a farm cat so he was let loose back on the farm as soon as he’d been neutered, he was absolutely fine!

He'll either be feeding his face and yelling like Fizzgig (The Dark Crystal) or he'll still be sleepy from the GA. Whichever it is, he'll be fine without supervision for an afternoon.

It’ll be fine.
I did WFH the day after mine were spayed and it was entirely unnecessary as they basically ignored me and did their thing.
