Question:
That has to be the hardest thing I have ever done to Floyd (or any animal). Keeping him locked up for three nights in total, not feeding him. Man that was hard – those innocent little eyes looking up at me, following me everywhere, meowing, trying to get out to do his business. Poor poor mite. Vet said there was no problem, he was dead wonky on his feet last night, and still keen as mustard to get out the house. I kept him in till this morning and suspect now we wont see him for a day…bless his heart… But he did me so proud, he did one widdle in the tray (I think because he thought he would get fed if he did). Then he did a widdle in the kitchen, luckily on a scrap of carpet. I took his hint and put the tray where he did his widdle, and lo and behold this morning he had done a number 2 in it!!! Im so proud, he was so good. He meowed and howled a little, jumped on stuff but what else can you expevt when you teach him one thing for years and then change to rules so suddenly. He did soo well.

Why did you have to keep him without food for three days? The procedure here is no food or water 12 hours before surgery.

Before you buy.

I don’t get it. Why couldn’t you feed the poor guy for 3 days, for a neuter op?? Witholding food for 12 hours prior to the op I can see. Cathy — "Decades gliding by like Indians, time is cheap." Paul Simon ("Ren
