She got spayed today, but she is acting all wobbly. She is walking like she's about to tip over, she was shaking but I took her out of the crate (we're keeping her away from the others) and held her and spoke to her gently and she was fine as far as the shaking. Is this all normal? I've never been around a "just spayed" cat before. She is 8 months old.

Ok, thanks. I just wanted to be sure. I was near tears because I didn't know what was wrong with her and I got scared. Thanks for the towel idea. I'll have to see if my Mom has any she can give to her.

The other thing you may want to consider is leaving her in her carrier for a few hours after she comes home. Gives her a chance for the anesthesia to wear off and get her "sea legs" back.

Sadie was the same way. Very wobbly and about to fall over. It scared us like crazy and we were almost in tears as well. But we let her alone for about an hour, she layed under the bed. Next thing we knew she came out of the bedroom and walked up to her food dish just like usual
She's a foodie! Happy Healing to your kitties!!

She's doing better today, although she seems to be in a little pain. But anyone would be after surgery!
I'll keep you all updated on her progress. I'm cuddling her and my Mom is letting my hold her in the house.
