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.

Purrs that all went well with the procedures, both DH's and Biskit's.
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 ;-)

I hope so too!  Poor little Biskit.  But she's definitely much better
off than when you first found her.

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" <Hopitus2@comcast.net> had some very interesting things to
say about Re: Biskit Update:

>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.]

Ugh. I didn't know they did, either. 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.

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.

Wonderful news! We are purring for everything to go well from now on with
Biskit, and the spraying to stop. Any new pictures?

This is great news!  We are sending complete-recovery purrs, and hope
that she feels better and *stops spraying* pronto.

You know, that fatty mass may have been causing a bit of trouble that way
too. I'm certain she'll feel much better now.

Continuing purrs, hoping when Biskit comes home she won't ahve to see TED
again for a long time.

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.

Neither of my boys care about turf either. It's like, "Oh, you want my
territory? OK, you can have it."
