Sherry - 12 Mar 2004 06:08 GMT Well, maybe I should say *lack of* an update. I had to take DH for a procedure in the city today and in the afternoon called to see if I could pick up Biskit. The receptionist said she was fine, but was "wiped out" still from the surgery and suggested we leave her again overnight. I am still quite worried, mostly because she still seems like such a frail little thing. I know they are tougher than we think though. Thankks everyone for the purrs and hopefully some good news tomorrow.

Will be looking for the update, and still purring that the tumor was just a cyst or something benign.
Not that it has anything to do with the thread, but your post reminds me of when I took Rocky in for neutering. I took him in the day before the procedure, since at the time he was still a little wild and wouldn't stay inside overnight. They didn't get to him until late that next afternoon, so he ended up staying another night.
They called early the next morning, saying he was ready to be picked up. Then called again about lunchtime to check and see when I was coming, and sounded kind of eager to get rid of him. So, I called it a day (one of the benefits of being self-employed), went and put away my landscaping equipment. and headed on down to pick him him.
When I got there, a tech went into the back to get him, then came out for reinforcements - eventually it took three techs to transfer him from the cage to the carrier. I could hear him at the reception desk, howling and hissing from the back, giving them what-for. He was pretty tame with me, but still enough of a feral to give them holy h*ll ;-)

Sherry - 12 Mar 2004 19:59 GMT Hey friends. I just got back from picking up Biskit. She seems *very* well considering. And the vet said the "tumor" was more like just a fatty mass. He didn't think it was a bad thing at all. I am *so* relieved to get this over with. Now if she'll just quit spraying we can all settle down. I have been told she probably will after the spay surgery. Thank you *all* for the purrs. Such a difference.

Hopitus2 - 13 Mar 2004 02:09 GMT I'm so glad she's fine, but I didn't know female cats sprayed!

>I'm so glad she's fine, but I didn't know female cats sprayed! I once had one who took up that habit *after* a spay! [She had been allowed several litters of kittens, nearly all of whom quickly found new slaves. My parents had decided that the ones not rehomed weren't because they already *were* home. Very good momcat, except for that odd problem we had with how difficult it was to convince her to wean kittens.]

She didn't start till she went into heat. One day I went to get a CD out of the rack, and they were....wet. I thought the boys were upset because of her, even though they'd never done it before. Turns out it was her. She didn't spray when she was locked up in the bedroom. I guess she was marking territory or something, and wouldn't spray in "her" room. I've heard cats won't soil "their den." . So she's been in the bedroom since then. Some very knowledgeable people on the other NG's have assured me it will stop with the spaying. I hope so!! She's had the run of the house for the last day/night. So far so good.

So far so >good. My previous cat, Annabel Lee, sprayed just once. A visiting tomcat sprayed the outside of my front door, so Annabel Lee sprayed just inside the front door, probably to assert her claim to the territory. She was about 5 years post-spaying at the time.

Hopitus2 - 13 Mar 2004 17:53 GMT So the spraying, no matter the gender, is some kind of "my-turf" thing. Thank God the old girls here recognize that it's all Rowdy's "turf" (they could care less) here.....they just get annoyed because they don't want to *play* with His Obnoxiousness when he jumps on them. I personally think, since everyone is plump, that it's good exercise for the girls now and then. But nobody sprays.
