Hello, Early this morning we brought our male cat home. He was neutered yesterday late afternoon.

he has always been hyper but he is worse than his usual self. He climbed up on our bed and kept

rolling around all over until I was afraid he would fall off. Then he grabbed up his ball in his teeth and

began to carry it all over the house. He found a small dust bunny and ate it. He started running and playing with the other cats. We confined him to the bedroom several times today for him to get some

rest. We also had his sister spayed at the same time. She is resting in the kennel downstairs with blanket

soft bed litter box water, we fed them both small portions today They acted like they were so totally

starved. I only gave soft food today. They ate two cans today between the two of them, and tonight I

removed the food to let it digest some before they get more. They have water for tonight.

I am concerned about the hyperactivity. They seem totally starved for affection. The little girl reaches her

paw out through the kennel and begs me to take her upstairs. I am afraid to do much lifting right now

because of her stitches. I let her out of the kennel and petted her then put her back in.

I hope we are doing all right for them. They are like our children and we love them so very much.

Welcome to TCS! 


I'm sorry you had no replies so far! How are they both doing today?

I know that drug-induced hyperactivity/manic episodes can happen with humans, especially when the drugs suppress the body, as anesthetics will do. I don't recall ever hearing of it happening with cats though.

I'd say that every cat reacts differently to the drugs they're given for this procedure and do a wait and see until everything is out of his system.
