Hmmm...

Does Tigs still have the Catheter *IN* ??

Here in the States, most Vets insist on Leaving the Catheter *IN*
for several days.

This encourages any Stones or Crystals that are in the Bladder to
flow out; and prevents re-plugging.
Cat is also sent home with an E-collar -
to prevent Feline Removal of the Catheter!

Since the Cat has NO control over when urine will flow out the catheter;
confinement in an easy-to-clean area is also required...
Boots spent his Catheter-IN days in the bathroom -
with a generous covering of newspapers on the floor.
We *tried* confinement in the fallin water klozit
(aka the Tub & Shower) - but he quickly learned how to slide
*open* the shower door...
So we *settled* on him having the Whole Room.

GOOD LUCK, Tigs!!
