So that is why I'm asking for advice here. It is so hard when they're your own cats.

Isabel is scheduled to be spayed Wed. That means no food/water after 10 PM the night before. No problem. However, the first thing I do in the AM is feed all the cats canned. Izzy is the loudest and most demanding when it comes to this and I can't give her any Wed. morning.

1. Should I put her in a separate room and feed the others?

The downfall to this is she will know, and I will feel like a monster.

2. Don't feed any cats until she is packed up and ready to go to the vets?

She will still know, but will be in the carrier, to be whisked off on a great adventure, and hopefully won't care. Plus, the whole time I'm having my coffee and breakfast and getting ready for school I'll be harrassed, and again feel like a monster.

3. Feed the cats when I get home at 3 in the afternoon. I'll have put their dry food down before I leave.

Then they all will be mad at me.
