Up-date on Snow Cat

[wayne0214]

As many of your are aware, I had Snow Cat neutered today. In fact, we have been home about 1/2 hour already. He is a little wobbly and his eyes were as big as saucers on the way home, but not a peep out of him. This morning, when I (reluctantly) left him with the vets for the day, he received some big hugs from the attendant (probably because he is more beautiful than the average cat! -Just bragging) .(For a near likeness of Snow Cat, see COTD for Aug 26, 1999, Skylar) Anyway, they called just after sedating him to tell me that he had ear mites. News to me, although I probably wouldn't recognize ear mites if I were to see them. This brings up another question;

How many of you give your furkids an annual check up? The fact that I did not know Snow Cat had ear mites (which I told them to correct the problem), just as well tells me that perhaps, because a cat doesn't act sick, that there could be other things wrong with them. And that I should leave the annual check-up with someone who knows more about felines and their problems than I do.

Anyway, Snow Cat and Princess are both sleeping together on a towel laid across my bed. His first reaction when I let him out of the carrier was to explore the house, as though something had changed in here Then he began to climb and place stress on his incision, which I immediately picked him up and placed him on the bed. He went to sleep after some petting and scritchies.
