I was wondering if anyone else experienced this and whether it calmed down after a while.........
In the two or three weeks before Harry was neutered he was a little less playful than he had been which I attributed to the length of time it took for him to settle down after being in the cattery (he had diarrhoea and was quite upset for a while). I got him neutered 5 days ago and since then he has been not only much more playful (which I am glad about) but also quite snappy at times. Either my partner or I could be stroking him on our laps and suddenly he turns around and attacks us.
He had no issues when recovering from his surgery and he has not been ill in any way. He's going to the toilet and eating as normal. He is just being pretty cranky! At times he is affectionate as ever but he's unpredictable. Bagheera was and always has been a sweetheart and had no issues like this post surgery and everyone says male cats are lovely after neutering but it seems to have had the opposite effect on Harry!
Any advice or similar stories would be appreciated.
