Poor baby Felix!

I'm glad his neuter is over and that he didn't get declawed.

Usually it's only the females that have to wear a cone for a while. The boys are usually back to normal in a couple of days. I hope everything goes well. If he doesn't have one already, I'd get him a scratching post for Christmas with some catnip spray to use on it. Hopefully he'll leave your Christmas tree alone. Good luck.

I've never had a male who had to wear a cone after neutering. They did fine. I'd take the thing off.

I am glad he was not declawed. Now, he has to behave himself, doesn't he?

Give him hugs and kisses from me. He sure is a cutie!

He's got a little scratching post that hangs on one of our cupboards. He uses it fairly well.

We took it off a few hours ago and he's been pretty good with it so far. He was just SO miserable - he repayed us by going from person to person and napping on our laps hehe.

None of my males ever wore a cone after neutering either. As a matter of fact, they were so peppy when I brought them home that I wondered if they might've still had all their parts. LOL

I can sympathize w/how bad you feel about Felix having to wear his collar, though. My Yodie needed one after her recent ear surgery and b/c she opened her incision, she now has to wear it for another 10 days, possibly longer. They do know how to tug at our heartstrings about it, too, trust me. I'm glad that he's doing well since you took it off and that he isn't bothering his incision. And I'm glad, too, that you didn't have him declawed.

Awwww, Felix, I hope you feel much better soon! Please use your scratching tree for your claws, okay?

Hi Felix,
I'm glad to know that your "guy surgery" went so well. Just take it easy for a few days and be sure to get lots of extra lovies from your purrents. Like all of us who got fixed when we weren't broken, today you are a kitty man! Feel better soon!

Your friend,
Groucho
