Neutered - Henry Lee

Our kitten we rescued in November finally went in for his neuter on Monday the 28th. I was super nervous as always but he made it out just fine. This is out first male cat, the other cat I owned growing up was a female and the 2 we currently have with Henry are females as well.

I can now defiantly agree that neuters are SO much easier on cats and so much easier to heal then a spay is! He is doing great today - his normal self, rolling around with Winston and attacking everything. His two, very tiny incisions look amazing also. No redness and the swelling is almost completely gone.

When we first brought him home he was still so groggy that he could barely walk. He was stumbling all over the place and when he would try to jump up on my bed (which is maybe a foot off the floor) he kept falling down. But man was he extra  lovey! He wanted nothing but for you to scratch him and all over his body. It makes me wonder if the anastasia made him a bit itchy. But he was sure a love bug last night.


He finally ended his night passing out on top of the rats cage. Suzie likes to attack him when he sleeps up there though - and I new he wasn't in the mood or the shape to try and be dodging her last night so I decided to put his cat bed up on top of the cage so there would be no biting from Suzie and he could get some much needed rest. He ended up passing out and hard... with his face smashed right into the rat cage - it was very cute actually. Suzie actually left him alone after that, it was like she new he was hurting, haha.

 

I woke up this morning to find him still in the same spot, fast asleep. The hyper energetic kitty was no longer though - I think the pain started to settle in. When I got home this evening from school he was still up in the same spot, I don't think he moved at all really. Just looking like he was sore and wasn't fast at moving at all. He finally ended up getting down for some dinner and played a bit with Winston. But kept stretching out and trying to sleep some more. 

But I defiantly have to agree that neuters are so much easier and quicker then spays are! I wish they could be that easy for both females and males!
