I took in a stray cat over the summer, and he is estimated to be around 8-12 years old. I am finally nearing the top of the waiting list at the vet clinic, and can set up his neutering appointment for February 20th. He is only slightly okay with his body being touched, and is a bit more comfortable with his head being touched. I worry about the recovery for him, especially since he is already hard to handle. Should I get him neutered; is it worth the risk?
Also, the cone situation: I could get him a soft cone, or I could sew him a onesie-- but I'm having a hard time understanding how the onesie would work since he will need to be able to use the bathroom; won't the onesie that some people recommend not cover the neuter incision? Or am I understanding wrong about where the neutering incision would be?
Also! Sorry for the second addendum. He is sooo much more calm and okay with being touched when he wears his Kitty Holster Cat Harness; maybe the onesie idea would work? He is also okay with being picked up, so that wouldn't be too much of an issue.
