    I remember when I got My Little Michael home, I was told to keep him quiet too.
    But he lurched about like a drunken sailor, and stumbled around until he was over the anasthetic.
    Theres no keeping a Good Kitten down.

    Most of the boys I have had neutered came home and acted like nothing had happened. You don't have to keep them quiet, in fact, you can't. Your kitty is completely normal and will not hurt himself.
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    Keeping kittens quiet is impossible. Every boy I ever had neutered was running about as if they had a mini spa vacation earlier that morning. Let him do things as usual while keeping an eye out for swelling and red coloring.

    Okay, thanks for the advice....reading your experiences really helped me to relax a lot!! I let the very un-happy kitty out of his cage earlier today, and he promptly peed in our girl's playroom. Grrr! Now it was my turn to be very un-happy!!!

    He bombed around here like he was pent up for weeks, and eventually climbed into my lap. He was very snippy and trying to bite me, but eventually mellowed out and even gave me a few purrs. Now he's chilled out, and sleeping in a drawer of blankets. I do hope my sweet Patches is back tomorrow! :P

    He was probably stressed from the experience.

    When Spunky had his cancer surgery and had a tumor removed, I was given the same instructions. He was so happy to be home that he bounced around the first day back home. He didn't come out of anesthesia quick enough so he was there an extra night. He was ready to go home when I retrieved him.

    He doesn't jump well or accurately so I just made sure that he could climb wherever he needed to be. He wore himself out the first day and settled into convalescence for the next week or so.

    Your kitty will be okay. He was just stretching himself after being cooped up for the surgery.

    I'm glad to hear that Patches is doing well after his surgery, hopefully he settles down for a good cuddle session soon.
    Any chance you could post a new photo or two of him? I bet he has grown a lot since you last posted pictures of him.
    Please give him a hug and a kiss from me.
    RIP sweet Samantha
