Cat Forum / General Topics / December 2006How do cats feel after spaying?
How do cats feel after spaying? When they come home, are they running all around or do they feel dizzy and hurt? Is sedation necessary? Of course sedation is necessary, how would you feel being awake for it? How would you feel after being through a procedure like that? You'd probably want to rest and/or sleep. That is what cats do to. depends on the age of the cat. I foster for the local shelter, and cats altered at a young age (we do it at 2.5 lbs) recover quicker than they wake up out of the sedation. By the time they are awake, they are raring to go, and act as if nothing has happened. The mothers take longer to recover, and for the most part know to be quiet and relaxed until they feel up to being their old selves.. usually no more than a day. > How do cats feel after spaying?

Sedation would be for after the operation... if needed. One of my cousins bought pills for her cats ($12) for sedation but told me she never used them as her cat was jumping all over the place soon as she came home. She was 4½ month old. >> depends on the age of the cat.

She was 4½ month old. Mine was really mad at us for what was done. It was a day or so be fore she calmed down.

Ours are like that just because we put them in that evil box and took them to the mean lady who does awful things with thermometers and sticks them with pointy things. Aphrodite was so stunned by the tramnsition from the humane society to our house that getting her bits removed never even showed up on the radar. Ares never has had a brain so he didn't notice. -- Brian Merchant Puritanism didn't keep the puritans from sinning, it just kept them from enjoying it. --Father Joe Breighner, Country Roads >How do cats feel after spaying?

My vet keeps them overnight, so they've usually been awake at least 30 hours - the smarter ones avoid jumping for a day or two and tend to lie around a bit more than usual. The less smart ones try to pick up where they left off. Either way, recovery is not a big deal for them.  SignatureT.E.D.

Well, it's sort of self defining: anyone, cat or other, who pushes things too hard a day after major surgery is not very smart. SignatureT.E.D.

Do you really believe it depends on the smartness of the cat? considering it is a hysterectomy cats cope very well. my kitten moped for about a day, resting from the aesthetic and was feeling very sorry for herself. within a day she was running around as normal. > How do cats feel after spaying?

My kitty dealt with it fine once she arrived home, so well in fact she was jumping around and tore the internal stitches, got an infection and ended up in the vet's surgery again. She was at the vet's for a week, had drainage tubes inserted and was generally a very sorry cat... So please be aware that letting your cat jump around and tear around the house is not a good thing for at least 2 days. Although other than sedation I don't know how you manage to stop a cat doing those things.
