Lots more prayers are on the way. I'm sure that eveything will go well.

You'll most likely need to confine Gatsby after his surgery so I don't know if you have a spare bedroom or bathroom for him or not. I didn't have this option with Storm so I had to buy a big cage and I was able to set up a small litter box in it too. I would bring him out to feed him. He didn't like it at first but later became used to it. I think he had to be confined for about 2 weeks or so and then he was able to have his stitches removed. Good luck.
