The vet told me she would be sleeping most of the day. Is there anything I should pay attention to? I dropped her off this morning (monday) and I already missed her :(

ROFL. I read the topic as "my car got sprayed today" and was expecting bullet holes/paintball splatters as a general topic... my bad for reading it wrong. Just be prepared for one angry kitty... :(

is it usually an overnight stay ? When our dog got snipped we picked him up later that day... he was sleepy still... and when we finally got home, he was walking around like he was drunk... poor guy.

Hmm. My dog got fixed over 7 years ago and whenever I walk by him he snarls at me. :)

Make sure to take some pics of the shaved pussy :D

Other then that just watch out to make sure she doesn't go after the stitches or leakage or if it starts to get red by them.

And don't pick her up for a few days so it doesn't get sore.

Vets should tell you most of this, well except for the shaved pussy part probly ;)

Why would she be pissed at me? :( Its not like I'm trying to hurt or it is not me who did the surgery :(

Poor kitty.

How long will she have to keep the stitches? :(

Should be the ones that dissolve in the body so just keep an eye on them,

The vet will know better then us so ask them and while you are there ask if he has any kitty porn :D

My female cat seemed be be fully recovered after 2 days. Try to keep her from trying to jump on stuff for a couple of days. My cat tried to jump in the window on her first day back, but she didn't make it.

Give the litter box a good cleaning before she comes back.

How is that leather couch working out for you? :)
