As you know a couple of months ago Charlie (aka Sir Poopsalot) went for his first checkup since we moved house a year ago, new vet, new place. Yesterday he went in for an overnight stay to get a spot on his nose frozen off, a punch biopsy of the spot & of his ear & a blood test (recommended for his age and to check his liver is ok). I called up half an hour ago & they said it went fine, that he was just waking up. I will be calling again before we pick him up tonight.
Now apart from our heatwave & my HUGE money issues, i am worried about something possibly silly. The only time Charlie had ever been knocked out, was when he was a kitten for his spay pre-adoption. That was almost 10 years ago! I am worried he might change, he might not trust me anymore. He is already a scaredy cat & i have spent a long time trying to get him to know that we are all his friends, and that i would never hurt him (he was adopted to us at 4 months & he had already had an owner & was returned, we don't know the reason why, he has always freaked out at sudden movements, loud noises like tin foil, garbage bags etc.
So i'm worried that because i allowed him to stay in a strange place for 24 hours & for some stranger to knock him out that he will decide i've been a cruel mum & that he won't settle back down in the house or love me anymore.
I know only true cat people will understand this. Has anyone else worried about this issue before?
