I well understand the mixed feelings. We’ve been through the same TOO many times. LOL! But it’s nice to know the darlings are ok.
Sounds like you plan to keep Lil Bit in your room the night before surgery?
No, but in the bathroom that’s off the bedroom. I’ll put what she needs in the shower...bedding, food [till midnight or till she gobbles it] and a small litter box.
I’ll take breakables that I have in the window out of there so she doesn’t accidentally break something and then cut a paw or something, maybe trying to get out. Then first thing Monday morning...to early for my blood LOL...we’ll crate her and take her to the vet for shots and surgery. I think they’ll keep her over night.
Then, same thing the day she gets back and then after a couple of healing days, see if she wants to go out. I can’t let her loose in the house. My two would hate it and probably make me suffer forever for my treachery in bringing another cat into their kingdom. LOL! Peaches sleeps on the bed, so there would be a cat fight for sure if she was loose in here. And he tries to dig under the door...damaging the carpet...if I shut the door against him. Spoiled brat. LOL!
