all cats I have were spayed before I got them...Cookie's fur wasn't all the way grown back tho...so I don't know how they were after the surgery.

Ophelia, actually fought her anesthisia, because when I brought her home she would't settle down anywhere, but kept walking (stumbling) around.
that reminded me of Cookie...one time we had to bring her to Phoenix to a specialist, and she slept in my arms the whole way home, but she must have sensed when we home, because as we pulled onto our street, she woke up and wanted me to let her down, and once in the house I set her down, and she walked/stumbled around for about an hour till the feeling went away! she didnt't like that dopey feeling!

let us know how your kitty is doing....
