Our little (6months) Nori girl, has just been to the vet to get castrated. What a champ she was! She’s now recovering from the surgery, giving her unlimiteds (and much deserved) amounts of cuddles.

On the picture she’s still drugged and asleep, even though her eyes are open. She was given eye gel to not have her eyes dry out too.

We’ve put her cat tower down on the floor so she doesn’t have to jump to get into it. And made extra sleeping spots on the floor with warm wooly blankets. Got treats of all kinds and water bowls place in different spots for easy reach.

How’s peoples experiences been with this process (the aftermath)? We got some painkillers for her to take daily, for 6 days. Any tips on making cats swallow pills easily? Is there anything extra one could do for the cat?

Have a nice day, and don’t forget to cuddle your cat a little extra 😻

    I have a senior cat who needs a pill every day. He’s on a restricted diet for chronic kidney disease so I avoid giving him treats. What I do is give him the pill by putting it down his throat right before feeding him, so the food itself is the treat. He’s super used to the process now.

      Sorry to hear about the disease, but good you have a suited way of doing it, especially if he doesn’t mind it.
