Hi, I've had my first cats for just under a year. Both are ginger girls (when we got them as kittens we were told one was a boy but both turned out to be girls!) they are indoor cats and very friendly, cuddly well behaved and appear very happy. One has had heats since about 6 months old and the other since 8 months. They are now a year old.
They are booked in for spaying this week and it has taken a while to get a date when both are out of heat at the same time. (Vet said much better to do together so recovery is together).
My worry is that both are naturally very small cats, only weigh 5lbs & 5.3lbs. (Not increased weight at all since 6mths old) Vet did always say they would likely be little cats as were very small for age when kittens. One is a skinny girl as has lots of heats and is very active and I just can't stop worrying that something will go wrong. I know it is very routine op but I keep thinking...what If one of them has an unknown condition that will cause bad reaction during op?
I'm really just hoping for reassurance as I've not slept well last two nights but I know deep down I'm being silly.
Any advice from those that have been through this would be so appreciated.
Kind regards
Emily
