I brought Roxy, my newest kitty in today to get spayed. My other two cats were fixed before I got them, so I can't help but be a little nervous.
my question is this...I pick her up tommorrow afternoon, and the vet recommended I keep her isolated if she and my other kitty play so much...
Leo and Roxy play (restle, chase, tackle climb and pounce on eachother) quite a bit everyday when we are home and probably when we are not home too. They also groom eachother...never fighting just silent happy rolling around... they sleep together too, and one will meow until he/she finds the other....
have most of you with multiple cats/kittens kept them isolated after spaying?
I am also wondering if and how your female behavior changed after spaying (aside from the heat behavior) cause Roxy is such a sweetie, and playful...
my biggest concern, is I don't want the relationship btw the cats to change, and if I isolate her the only place in my bedroom, and this will upset the other cats...but ofcourse I want her to heal as best she can..
especially since they are all getting along, even Piper has on several occasions wanted to play with Roxy, and usually gets her by surprise...
I don't want Leo to accidentaly hurt her so I am leaning towards keeping her isolated, but alowing her out when I can watch, and for meals...
what do you think??? Is it risky? The vet teck said Roxy will might hiss at the others so they will leave her alone, and not to worry, but I have never heard her hiss once since I have her, and can't help being worried! (She is also the kitty that had a really bad URI when I got her but she has been totally fine since she got over it)
