I got back from the spay/neuiter clinic about an hour ago. Both of my furkids are OK, aside from being under the anesthesia and a little wobbly, they will make it. Ophie and Blue are not affectionate kitties, neither to they make good lap cats, but they are sociable when they are feeling OK. And for now, Ophie is fighting the effects of the anesthesia, because she won't settle down, not like Blue. In fact, Blue has found her favorite place on my bed and will probably be there most of the night. I'm still trying to get Ophie to calm down, finding that scritchies on her cheeks seem to do the best.
(later) Ophelia finally wore herself out. I had to place her back in the pet carrier (the one I made) to attempt to get her to calm down. I think the recent memory of being confined in the box caused her to have a change of heart, because in about 10 minutes she was sound asleep on the bed. This morning she was cold (probably because of little food intake) because she would park under the desk lamps. So, I placed her on the floor and she immediatley went to sleep again next to the red heat lamp (which I use as a foot warmer). Since this same behavior is repetitious with my other recently-spayed females, it is to be expected.
