Since Nakita was my 'first' cat that I have had since I have been on my own, I was a total wreck when she went to get spayed! My S/O had to take her in because I was a weeping mess. She was so small at 4 pounds and innocent, I didn't want her to know any pain.

I'm a big softie but don't spread that around, OK???

Nakita was kept at the animal clinic overnight, but she had some terrible problems with the anaesthetic. Since I was up almost all night worrying about the complications, I was on the internet looking for answers and that's how I found Pet Talk.

Even though it was my first post here, everyone welcomed me and gave me support when I desperately needed it. That was 4 months ago and I never left. How could I leave a site that welcomed me with such warmth and friendly faces??

Come here on Monday. We've all been through it and we're good with the hand holding bit!
