Cancer Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER The kittens got fixed yesterday. Most unhappy yowlings, growlings, and hissings for much of the night. Two of the five were about back to normal this morning, but others still have a ways to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER What seems to bother them most is that everyone smells like the vet. People are OK, once the kittens come off the sensory interference. The adult cats (who didn't make the trip) are no more objectionable than they were before. But each other ... oooh, they all smell like that scary place where bad stuff happened. We only got quiet after each of them had found a spot to sleep where they felt safe, which took a while, since ordinarily they sleep in a common puddle on the bed. Of course, we didn't sleep well either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinKitty Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER My cats got fixed soon before I picked them up. Star and Stripes were these little tiny kitties and star had a thread hanging off her. They both recovered fine, no problems, and now are happy cats.

Cancer Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Well, it's about 24 hours later, and 4 of the 5 kittens are back to sleeping together in a pile on the bed. The last one is under the covers next to my wife. So we're almost back to normal, and no yowling or growling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Yay! Apparently, getting fixed doesn't just make a cat smell like the vet; having no sex organs also changes the scent he or she emits. A friend of mine got two kittens for Christmas years ago; they were littermates, and clung to one another for support. But after their fixing operations, these sweet little puffballs started hissing at one another, and sweet little Pixel swatted at her brother angrily. Eventually, they forgave one another and got over it, but meanwhile, my friend, the never-had-cats-before, from-a-long-line-of-dog-trainers sort of person, was at a loss. She wound up looking it up online and was quite reassured to learn this was normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Clearly. Back to weather? I actually checked the window three times before I got up this morning. I think my sleep-addled brain was convinced that, if I went back to sleep then woke up again, maybe I could hit the reset on the weather.

AliceTheOwl Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Oooh, fancy. Sometimes I wish I lived nearer to people who care about baseball. Opening day is one of those times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
