My siamese ktten Romeo is being neutered today
He's five months old and
he has never been away from me until now. It's just nerve wracking.

When my girl was spayed at 4.5 months old she was so awake and alert when I picked her up. She got home and alls she wanted to do was play! I was so paranoid thinking my other kitten would play to rough with her. Kittens bounce back sooo quickly. Of course with girls its a little different. She did end up with a suture opening a little so we had to put her antibiotics. She never acted like she just went through a big surgery.

Thank you so much for your good vibe.....any advice on what to do when he comes home?Originally Posted by Hell603
- don't you worry he'll be just fine and so very to happy to see you when you pick him up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amanda
See if he'll curl up with you for a while and sleep off any of the anesthetic left over. Just make sure he's warm. If you have other cats he might want to play! I tried so hard to make my girl sit still and calm down but she wanted nothing to do with it. Just try to avoid letting him jump anywhere.
He'll rebound very quickly!

Thank you for another good vibe! I know with females it's a little harder but you were so lucky that you're little girl bounced back so quickly.
I hope Romeo bounces right back too and being Siamese I'm sure he will have lots to say! Still anyone who's been through this it's tough waiting.

Thank you and I do have another cat Bella who's 2, they play all the time and when I bought Romeo home at just 6 weeks she became his surragate mother! To this day as big as Romeo is getting he still tries to suckle from her.
Amanda
It is hard waiting. I was so glad to hear from the vet part way through the day letting me know she was fine and she was so tiny they put her on a heating pad. Evidently it wasn't long before she started crying to go home. She cried the whole way home but was a happy clam to be back in famililar surroundings.
Aww thats so cute! If he sees her as his mom then suckling might just be the perfect thing to calm him down! The anesthetics they use nowadays wear off really quickly. My boy 12 years ago was drowsy most of the night but they are fast acting that is why they can spay/neuter so much younger now.
Romeo - what a beautiful name. He will be fine I'm sure. Bijou was a little groggy but fine and they didn't do stitches or glue - just pulled the skin together and let it heal naturally.
Have you posted pictures of Romeo in the Fur Pictures Forum yet? I'd love to see him since I have a weakness for Siamese babies.

Yes it's very cute, both of them can nolonger fit in the hammock so now Romeo stands on hishind legs to suckle if Bella is in there, he doesn't realise howbig he is haha
It is a great name
They really are amazing animals. Mika has a birth defect and thus she has no voice except for this sweet little kind of "heh" sound and Bijou isn't a prolific talker except when my husband is around and he wants to go out in his harness and leash.Originally Posted by Amandaisabella

He sleeps beside me with his paw around my neck and his face against my cheek or on the pillow beside me - sometimes I can barely breathe but wouldn't dream of disturbing him.
I love all cats, but I truly believe that once you have a Siamese you'll always want a Siamese.
I can't wait to see pictures of your handsome Romeo.

I had pics up of him as a baby baby none recently though, I will have to get around to doing that. Thank you for liking his name, his whole name is Romeo Valentino because he's such a lover boy!
I like your kitty's name too, trying to pronounce it in the right way.

Hahah this Romeo has a big heart! And he can roar with the best of them!Originally Posted by SolarityBengals
It is a great name. At a carnivore preservation near here they have a 600lb tiger named Romeo, the largest one there. When I hear that name I think of a mighty cat.
Yah I like the spelling of Mika. My girls name is Meeka. Do you pronounce it that way or does the "i" have a stronger sound?
My girl started out as Meko before we new she was a girl. Our breeder thought she was a boy and the vet said it was a close call but later discovered in fact was a girl. So Meeka she now is.

Thank you. It is pronounced "Beejoo". My husband was never a big cat lover (he didn't dislike them just didn't like them as much as me) and now he is just gaga over Bijou. Mika is our daughter's cat (full sister to Bijou but from a later litter) and she has him wrapped around her paw too. Our daughter says she can't believe how much her dad loves Bijou. He takes him with him to the library, the hardware store, and anywhere he goes when he runs errands. They're buddies and Bijou loves it.Originally Posted by Amandaisabella

I agree Siamese are unique,I might get another one day but right now he's enough! Along with my cat Bella, well actually she isn't my cat but has been with me for five months now as her owners are in the air force. So she seems like she's mine, I dread the day I have to seperate the two of them. What kind of Siamese cats do you have? Romeo is a classic chocolate seal pointOriginally Posted by Yosemite
