I think this is the place to post this...
I am taking my kitten in to be neutered next week and this will be the first time he is separated from Lucky for any length of time. Lucky gets upset if I even try and close Rambo in a separate room and she starts desparately trying to get under the door. She also won't come and eat if he's closed away either (not even for wet food!). I guess I'm worried about how she will react when he's gone for a few days. And also...will there be problems when he comes back? Will she recognize him (especially if he smells like vet?)? And they recommended separating them when he first comes back (if he's not feeling well)...but this could be a problem for lucky as well.
Has anyone had this situation? How did you handle it?
thanks everyone...i think i maybe being a little bit overprotective/overanxious meowmy....i won't even go into the separation anxiety i am feeling!
