Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2007SHE'S HOME SHE IS HOME
Ka' Shay is home. YEAH ***********HAPPY DANCE************ She is very groggy and will be for a while. She looks like she is ready to fall asleep standing. Poor Thing. I got her the anesthesia after shot that helps wake them up. The surgery went fine she has responded well to it so far. The stitches should dissolve in about 10 to 14 days. I was worried a little about on of her extra toes it was starting to curl inwards and I was afraid we would have to remove it but it can be easily trimmed according to our vet. <WIPING FOREHEAD> When she went this morning she was terrified about going out of the house but not the carrier. It took her a while to calm down but not one peep just a lot of digging and clawing the hand. She is laying on the bed right now resting. Now here comes the problems keeping her out of trouble while she heals <scratching forehead> > Ka' Shay is home. YEAH ***********HAPPY DANCE************ > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > problems > keeping her out of trouble while she heals <scratching forehead> Glad she is ok. I only ever had to do this with boys and as you know it is a lot less complicated. I am sure she will be fine faster than you can imagine, though. Andy > She is laying on the bed right now resting. Now here comes the problems > keeping her out of trouble while she heals <scratching forehead> Excellent news! Sure is worrying when they have to have any sort of vet work done, isn't it? Dan glad she is doing well, what we did for OEJ when she had her teeth work, and for Stormmee, who is very closely related to some breed of monkey, is we bought a large dog kennel, one of those ones with the metal bars so they could see out and other kitties could come close... we presented it as "the penthouse" and it worked very well, during OEJ's term in the penthouse, TV cuddled next to the cage... to snag wet food through the bars... and During Stormmees time Chester slept on top of it so much we put a towel on top for comfort... also we put it on the dining room table so whoever is incarcerated still gets to see what is going on without the risk of kitty fights or claws, Lee, so relieved for you > Ka' Shay is home.

So Kayla is sleeping in "the penthouse" every night. I don't think she believes it. We put her in the crate at night for several reasons (that make us feel less guilty) 1. The cats really seem to appreciate the dog free hours. She doesn't hurt them or anything but they still have not learned to appreciate the finer points of a cold wet nose in their nether regions. And I suspect they point and giggle when she is in the crate. Just because I've never caught them at it... 2. She sheds. Oh lord how she sheds. I'd love to let her sleep with us, but I think she would run us out of our bedroom in a matter of days. Plus, one night in our bed and it would be really hard to get her back into the crate. 3. Going in the crate and looking expectant when ever anyone says cookie or bed really is her very best most accurate behavior. 4. Helps with house training issues. Jo done properly I think crate training is a good method, and I know you let her out... DF got a dog from the shelter that was terrified to do anything she had been kept in so much, for the first six months DF thought she had spinal issues, she never stood up all the way, after six months she realized she wasn't going to be crated so she began standing all the way up. There is no difference in crating a dog at night or putting it in the kitchen, Lee > > glad she is doing well, what we did for OEJ when she had her teeth work, > > and [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > > Jo BTW they didn't buy that penthouse explanation either but we tried, Lee > > glad she is doing well, what we did for OEJ when she had her teeth work, > > and [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > > Jo > Ka' Shay is home.

Glad to hear it :) When Natasha (RB) had hers done, she was just groggy for a while. When Tribble (RB) had his snip, it provided some major comic relief. He just had to prove he was fine and not a bit groggy. When we got home he strolled out of his carrier and sat down in the middle of the floor to wash. It went fine -- for awhile. You know how kitties do - balance on the front legs with a rear leg stuck up in the air so they can wash those areas better? Trib did that, and proceeded to do a slow roll over backwards. And there he lay, on his back, looking around like "what happened?" Jeanne Hedge ============ http://www.jhedge.com > Ka' Shay is home.
