Please could Sonic have some 'safe neuter' vibes?

Lots of {{{{{good vibes}}}}} for Sonic!!!

Healing vibes coming Sonic's way for a quick recovery

I know what you mean about the "no longer a baby" - last month I realized that Charlie didn't have the baby look any more

Tolly's is very sort of lumpy, I was quite worried about it when he was a kitten, but a physiotherapist friend (she does horses,dogs and cats as well as people) said it was just the way he was made and I wondered if Sonic was the same.

PS for those that don't know Sonic and Tolly are real cousins

Not completely smooth, I think it's just where the joins in his skull are though - you know where the plates knit together? I'll give his head a feel when he gets home (he'll love a nice head massage )

Well I just phoned the vet and Sonic's surgery went fine, we can pick him up at 4pm I can relax now!

I realised when I was trying to get him into the carrier this morning (he doesn't run into it with glee like Radar does ) how much he's grown recently. He's 6 1/2 months now, the time's gone really fast.

Radar runs into his carrier with glee? That's got to be one of the funniest things ever!

Radar does everything with an air of excitement and delight about him Radar's way is certainly more fun than trying to stuff Sonic backwards into the carrier with his long legs waving about!

Well Sonic is home now and he's fine, apart from the fact that his privates are shaved and a bit sore looking you wouldn't even know he'd had surgery. The vet gave him a cuddle before we left

Thats how Bakker was when I brought him home from his neuter-ran out of the carrier attacked Grizzly then devoured food!!
Tip on the carrier-tip it up so you drop the cats in-its works (sometimes!!).

I am glad he is home safely!

That is excellent! I'm glad the surgery went well! (Sounds like your vet really loves the animals they work with- that is always good )

The vet who did the surgery (as well as Radars) was lovely- an absolute star and we could tell he loved cats

Sonic is eating everything in sight so I guess he is fine (Epona only gave him a small dinner as adviced)

Never taking that cat on the bus again- everyone was staring as he wailed loudly, Epona reckons they were pointing and laughing but I just stared out of the window and pretended I had nothing to do with him

Glad Sonic is well. Poor fella, his daddy disowned him for the bus ride.

Thankfully I had read that tip on TCS before, because trying to get him into it through the front-opening door was like pushing jelly through a keyhole - it still wasn't that easy upended, because Sonic is a very long cat and his back feet touched the bottom long before the rest of him was in, it took a co-ordinated paw-unhooking-and-gentle-pushing-downwards to get the whole of him in. I actually realised after I posted earlier that I underestimated his age slightly as I didn't realise that we were very nearly at the end of the month now which makes him 7 months old, I feel I've been a bit slack getting this whole thing organised having realised that Found out today that he weighs nearly as much as Radar who is over a year old now!

It tends to be the practice manager who does the surgery, he's a very pleasant older Irish man who is great with the animals and with their humans. He gave Sonic a cuddle and kissed him on the head before putting him back in the carrier And there's a younger woman we see sometimes who is also great.

i am glad to hear he is home and doing well
