I keep trying to take the cone off... and she immediately proceeds to groom herself. She doesn't go straight for the incision, but grooms her arms, then upper torso, then on to her belly. She looks so sad with it on, but I don't trust her.

I tried to clean it earlier using a cotton swab with peroxide and she screamed... I used the feather-lightest touch possible. Then she screamed when I added nice soothing Neosporing to it. Is it THAT sore at the cut? I'm trying to thnk of how sore I'd be if I had a big wound and it was cleand and touched. I'm sure I'd scream too. But it doesn't keep me from worrying about whether or not she's in excessive or abnormal pain.

Wow, Rumor didn't act like her incision hurt at all. In fact I accidentally picked her up at the incision the first day home and she didn't even flinch. Does Abby's look red or swollen more? Poor little girl, maybe it is because she's so tiny. Rumor's big, I think she's part horse.

I can pick Abby up and no problem, she is infact acting like velcro kitty and is dying for loving (Awwwww). She is acting completely normal - jumping (despite me trying to NOT let her jump.) and interest in playing, though the cone make that hard to do. eating, drinking, etc.

She just hurt when I touched the wound directly.
