Purrs please for my poor little Siamese 'baby' Rhia who was spayed
about 10 days ago and went back to the vet today for the stiches to be
removed. The vet said she was too swollen around the wound site and
needed to be kept quiet for a few more days (have you every tried to
keep a Siamese quiet!).

At the vet's suggestion she's now confined to my spare bedroom with her
litter-mate Amy, who was 'done' at the same time and, despite my
efforts, removed most of her stiches herself! Confining them to an
infrequently -used room does make 'escapes' a little less frequent, but
I'm going to miss sharing my bed with the dynamic duo.

Incidentally, in trying to keep them confined I've come to the
conclusion that all cats were trained by Houdini, but that Siamese came
top of the class!

Ta,
John
