Once again, thanks everyone for your support!
Lily seems to do very well, actually I never saw a cat recovering from surgery that quickly!
She's been spayed at 9:30 am this morning, and when I picked her up at 11:30, she was already awake. I kept her in her carrier till 1 pm, then she wanted to to be released so I let her out - and she walked on her 4 legs, stumbling of course, but she was already able to walk.
At 4 pm, believe it or not, I found her on the top of the cabinet! She must have walked up the plank leading to the top which I have put there for Lily to climb. Needless to say, I put it away now for the time being. I'd never thought she would walk that plank only hours after her surgery.
She hasn't eaten or used her litter box yet, but I think that's okay. She was hiding for a couple of hours this afternoon and slept, but now she seems to do fine.
Luna is acting very nasty btw. She's growling and hissing at her, just as if I had introduced a cat to her she has never met before. She's acting exactly the same way she did when Lily moved in here in August. I figure Luna doesn't reecognize her due to her strong smell of disinfectants. One hour ago, I thought things would calm down when Luna tolerated Lily sleeping with her on her blanket, but now she's very grumpy again and even pawed at her. Luna seems to be very confused by this, almost scared.
And meowmie is very tired, so I think I'll go to bed soon. After all, the girls didn't let me sleep last night because I had to put the food away (due to Lily's surgery). They must have been so hungry that they couldn't find any sleep, so they decided to play all kinds of noisy games instead... :)
