    Ok, I need some help here! ACK!!!

    MIL's kitty, Misty, came home today after being spayed yesterday. Well, she's apparently feeling FINE because she doesn't seem to act like anything even happened to her. Well, we were told to keep her quiet and confined to an area where she won't be running & jumping for a few days while she heals. So, we put her in the master bath which has a 10x8 heated, carpeted walk-in closet attached to it with a plush bed made out of flannel sheets and baby blankets.

    She does NOT want to stay in there and wants to be out to play and cuddle with the old lady that adopted her and she keeps JUMPING UP at the door knob! UGH!!! So, are we better off just letting her out if she's going to be doing that? What else can I try?

    Thank You, Michelle!!!

    If it were me, I'd let her out. She doesn't have other animals, or small children (??) to contend with so I'd let her get comfy and then I'd try not to disturb her or pique her interest too much.
    She just wants to get to her momma...

    Keeping them "quiet & confined" is pretty hard to do. Unless they are feeling really crummy.

    I would let her out keep an eye on her. Misty seems to be doing just fine.

    Yeah, let her out. She's well enough to act up, so she's well enough to be let out w/the family.

    Ha ha haa, another one who never read the vet's book! Let her out. Just don't play with dangle toys or toss a catnip mouse for a few days, give her sometime to heal. If she hops in MIL's lap for a nap, so be it. Healing is often done with a snuggle!

    Let her out! She will be fine! I think I warned you they would tell you that and she would want to play and carry on as if things were normal. Just let her out and just watch her, they seem to recover a lot faster than us humans after surgery like that.

    Ok, thanks everyone! Geez! These kitty cats are worse than having a human toddler! LOL
