My Butter Boy milked the whole experience for all it was worth. He lounged around for at least 5 days, which is very unusual, from what I've been told. I think he was so glad to get in out of the extreme cold temperatures that there was no way he was leaving my bedroom before he had to!

Good luck with Scout. He'll be fine!!!

I think some cats take longer to get over the anesthesia than others, too. Ritz was spayed, but seemed, as Butter, to take longer than what I read about this...she was just a mess for about 2 days, laying around, not eating or drinking for 24 hours after (the vet said to bring her back in if we couldn't get her to eat within 24 hours...but FINALLY the end of Sunday (we brought her home Friday morning) she managed to get a few kibbles down and some water)

After that day, she was fine and slept a lot more than normal and by about day five was back to her old self again. in the past, I've had tom cats neutered and they all seemed to bounce back very quickly
