Greetings. I'm wondering what the real benefit or reasons are for "fixing" a male cat? I've heard 'fixed" males get lazy and fat. I don't want that to happen to Boots.
1. No territorial fighting

Our instructions were not to feed the boys after midnight of the 15th. Then they need to be at their vet's office by 8:30 am. We were told If all goes according to plan we can pick them up around 6pm. It's a slightly different procedure for females.Well. We've made the decision to have Boots fixed. Haven't talked to him about it yet. Is the cat kept overnight? How long is the recovery?
Good job! The vet's office should advise you when to start withholding food. We have to stop at 8PM the night before, have the kitty at the vet around 7:30AM the following day. The recovery time for boys doesn't take as long because it's not as invasive a surgery like it is for female kitties. My boy stayed overnight, but most come home the same day. He will be groggy and will need to be contained until the anesthesia completely wears off. We have a large wire dog crate we use as a sick bay for our kitties. Keep him contained overnight and offer small meals a couple of hours apart. He should be able to resume normal meals the following day and be back to normal in a few days.
