Hello cat-lovers,

I am a proud mummy to Torres - a 2-year old chocolate persian whom recently gave birth to lovely 4 kittens. Yes, we named her after a football player which explains why she is rather boyish and rough but yet so spoilt and manja. blush.gif wub.gif

This coming Saturday, my husband has arranged with Torres's vet for an appointment to spay her. And I'm so nervous and worried about it. I know for sure, she can't tolerate pain and i know it will break my heart to see her giving me the "im in pain, help me" look.

So, I need any advise or pointers from those who have went thru with it and how long does it takes to heal. And any do's and don'ts during before and after the operation. Which food or supplement should I give her?

Appreciate if you guys could help me.

Better to leave at vet there for 1 to 2 day to avoid infection. When bring home just make sure it is clean and do not touch the wound area smile.gif ur hand have more gem than u can think.
That is supplement out there which help wound cure faster but i can remember the name, u can get advice from the vet.
BTW do not bath ur cat for 2 week or 1 month i can't remember need to ask the vet.

BTW when operation i don't think u cat know anything most of them will put the cat to sleep to prevent any accident. When u cat wake up, the operation is already done plus and the wound is exactly very small only ><
Don't worry too much it will cure in 2 - 4 week time smile.gif

Hi there Mariellasays,

Congratulations on having such a beauty like Torres.
I can see that you love her very much  biggrin.gif

Well... before sending Torres for spaying, you must make sure that she is in good and excellent health meaning not sick.  Also please fast her the night before the operation.  Meaning no food or water before the operation.  This is very important as cats might vomit due to the anethesia given.  Since they are drowsy from the anethesia some cats might choke on their own vomit and this might kill them so please make sure no water and food for Torres 24 hours before the operation.

Usually, it depends on the vet where you will send her.  Most vets will keep the cats overnight to monitor them after the operation.  If the cat is responding well, the cat will be released the next day.  Make sure that Torres is caged for at least 1 week as we want to minimize the movement in order for the stiches not to come open.  Everyday clean the wound and if you like put some 'minyak gamat' on it.  This will help the wound to dry faster.  nod.gif

After the operation, it would be advisable to give her wet food rather than kibbles.  Get a few tins of Science AD which is the best and nutritious food for pets who are sick or after an operation.  No need to give any supplement at all.

Good luck!

Hi CutiePie,

Yes, i love her very much indeed. haha wink.gif

According to the vet I can take her back the very same day if i want to. Torres has never been caged more than 2 hours plus she hates the vet, even the smell of the clinic is enough to make her agitated. So I'm worried if i leave her alone at the vet overnight, she will stress out. Plus, she usually wont eat if I'm not around. That is how manja and spoilt she is that I have to take her everywhere I go. doh.gif

So, I think what i'll do is to bring her back home and keep her in the cage. Also, should i get to wear the collar to prevent her from biting her stitches.

Anyway, thanks so much for your advise. biggrin.gif

Snowy white with yellow hue Kitten + Ginger Kitten for Adoption - ADOPTED smile.gif

Type of Pet:Kittens

Name of Pet: (If it has one) I call them Snowy & Ginger

Age: Maybe 2mths - 3 mnts old. Very young and playful

Breed: Not Sure but their coat is medium long and thick. Maybe Persian mix normal cat. The white one has slightly bushy tail.

Sex: I believe both Male

Location: Shah Alam

Contact : Email me leanne.ar@gmail.com

Special needs: (If any) None. Both looks healthy and fit. Just need more food.

Reason for adoption/ Message for interested parties: Please help them. They don't seem frugal / wild. I believe prior to their abandonment they were house cats cause they tried to sneak into the house a few times. Very playful, happy kittens and easy to be comfortable with people. Please help them since there are other bigger cats around my neighbourhood and they're very territorial. I couldnt keep them as I already have 5 cats. Help give them a loving home they so much needed....

I have a couple of questions....

1) I notice that my cats have been shedding more fur this month. Is it because of the hot weather? Because Im giving the same type of food and nothing's changed.

2) I recently spayed my persian cat and eversince the operation, she's become grumpy and moody. She hates being around her kittens and would smack them if they get too near. I've tried to make her happy, play with her and give her extra treats. But she's still grumpy. When she's alone and the kittens are not around, than she'll be the most manja cat like she use to be before. What should I do?

3) My mum's cat who's 12 years old has been losing weight but has been eating a lot. Is this normal for mature cats?
