What about yesterday news or the knock off which I think is yesterday mews? (really)..these are just compressed pellets of newspaper. I think the "mews" is in some grocery stores, the news is in petco and petsmart.Originally Posted by caprice

My mother shredded up some regular white office paper for him
I also just got home from the vet no too long ago and they have that cone around his neck so he doesn't lick and bathe himself. When he saw me, he started purring like crazy. I got to stay in there with him for a good 10-15 minutes. I am gonna try and go in on Friday because tomorrow might be too hectic but he seems to be doing much better

Ahhh Mittens...get well quickly sweetie pie.
Glad to hear Mittens is doing well. We've done this surgery a few times at our hospital since I've been there. Unfortunately, some male cats just block very easily.
It's best that he had this done.. it will prevent him from blocking in the future -- so he won't have to go under anesthesia and have another procedure done. And, also, it will save you money. Because if he has blocked before it's very well likely that he would continue to do so.
Just make sure he keeps that cone on! lol You wouldn't believe the amount of times where owners would take the e-collar off and the surgery site would either become infected or we'd have to put them back under and resuture everything!!!
Feel better soon Mittens!!

Oh, poor Mittens. Prayers that he has a complete recovery, and heals quickly. Poor boy, I'm sure he is as ready to come home as you are to have him home!
Awwww bless the little dumpling
I bet you can't wait to get him home

Katie, how long do you usually have to keep the cone on them? I might have to separate him and Watson or Watson will chew it offOriginally Posted by GratefulBear629

Mittens, you precious little boy, we're so proud of you! Please feel 100% better very soon!
You remain in my prayers, and we're sending lots of strength and snuggles to you and your Mom!
I'm so glad Mittens is progressing well!
I just saw this and I'm glad to hear that Mittens is on the road to recovery!!
so glad to hear he's doing well after the surgery. if he doesn't like the shredded paper, you might want to get the compressed paper pellets. they're similar in texture to regular clay pellets [non-clumping] & you can quite often find them easily because they are recommended for use after a declaw. i know, we're all against declaws, but that's one reason they're easy to find.
