My cat has to get neutered tomorrow

[meow2u3]

I have to take him to the vet on the bus because not only do I not have a car, but because it's snowing, no one I know can either lend me one or give me a lift.

Boots has to fast--no food or water--because of the upcoming surgery. Now he's driving me up the wall with his incessant meowing, acting out, and planting his ass right between me and my work. What can I do to cope? He's a stomach with four paws screwed on and eats me out of house and home.

1. you could lock him in the bathroom w/litterbox and close up the

john so he can't drink

or you could just put away the work and cuddle the cat

PS hope you have a cat carrier

I'm just sayin'

2. poor guy.

he just knows that they're gonna...ahem...do some elective surgery on him. i think that he can be forgiven for being a little asshole now...:D

i just got the funniest image in my head: "stomach with four paws screwed on"...:7

4. I guess he has "cat-stration anxiety"

He knows something's up: the fact that his fuzzies are about to come off fur good. Hence, cat-stration anxiety.

3. he sounds like my cat.

poor kitty, he knows somethings up. i can't think of anyway to shush him up but maybe if you gave him some extra loves and pets he'll go to sleep?

5. How about DON'T CUT HIS BALLS OFF!

It is an option, you know.

8. Either his balls come off or the freakin' house stinks

--and the cat gets out for good! I just can't stand the skunky smell of cat spray! BTW, he is at the vet having the nuts getting shaken from his tree as I type.

He's about to become more of a stomach with a cat snapped on...

I wish I could get certain humans (hint: right-wing nuts) neutered! :evilgrin:

6. Actually, when we got Bear fixed

We were suprised that he came home with balls. He was fixed through the Humane Society, and basically just got a vasectomy. They figured out it was too traumatizing when they had no balls to lick.

10. I hear there are prosthetics available

seriously - prosthetic nuts

11. Interesting approach

I have never heard of them doing this. In what part of country does Bear reside?

7. Your life is over till you get to the vet.

I've done this with cat's, and kids(differant surgery). The cat was annoying, but a sweetheart, and I spent a lot of that very long night laughing and cuddling him. The kid was just terrifying. My vet made me put one of my cats on a diet, so I can sympathize about the stomach on four legs.

9. Odd. Usually the fasting the day before surgery doesn't need

to start until 10pm. 12 hours is all they really need so as to not interfere with the anesthesia, especially with a boy. Boy cats take 5 minutes to fix.
