I am sad. I just dropped my little guy off at the vet. He was MAD

[greenbriar]

when I left

They will call me between 10 and 2 to tell me how he did. i know its for his own good, but I still feel bad.

1. Be prepared to be ignored

when he comes back :D

He'll be fine. Only the trips to the vet from now on will be tough ....

:hug:

[greenbriar]

2. I don't want him to ignore me

when I took him in, he was very quiet in the cage and car ride. When we went into the room, he started growling and when the nurse took him out to weigh him WOW he got really mad and hissed and spit and would only let me hold him.


I signed for extra pain meds if he needed it

[MissHoneychurch]

3. Is he your first kitten ever?

Cats tend to ignore us when we do something they don't like. But that doesn't last long ... the second they are hungry they are really nice again :rofl:

[greenbriar]

4. he is my first kitten in like 25 years

we had them growing up but never did any neutering/spaying ect...they just lived in our house and if they had babies, so be it...



This is my first in my adult life that I really care about


my 16 year old daughter gave him to me for my birthday. in our 18 years of marriage and our 20 year togetherness, we haven't had a cat because hubbys step mom is allergic.


we finally said, they don't come over often enough to worry about it SO.... for my birthday I got spooky

[MissHoneychurch]

5. What a sweet b-day gift

don't worry too much. He'll be fine. But he sure has character.

My late cate was a black one too. She had character too .... only at the vet she didn't show it like your guy :rofl:

7. And nothing can ignore you as totally as a cat. When my third

child was born my kitty ignored me for 3 weeks. She even made it a point to be nice to people she had never been friendly with before. She would go so far as to sit about 3 feet from me with her back turned. When I spoke to her, she would twitch her ears a little, but she would not acknowledge me. She finally got over it when she realized that the baby wasn't going away and then she acted as though nothing had ever happened.

8. ROFL

Now that is what I call being ignored by a cat :rofl:

[LynneSin]

6. He will ignore you for about 3-4 hours

and then be back to his loving self.

[greenbriar]

17. he slept most of the evening right next to me

but today he is doin the ignore thing

[stuntcat]

9. Spooky's a tough little thing

soon all the vet stuff will be over and he won't know what's happened hehe!

[greenbriar]

10. I hope so

this is horrible.

My daughter had tubes put in her ears at 9 months.


this is almost that bad but they wouldn't let me stay and watch


just whisked him away in his cage

[greenbriar]

11. they called

he went through the surgery fine



but he is a cage rager

[greenbriar]

12. I miss him

how will I handle the night without him?

[mikeytherat]

13. Wait until you go pick him up - call his name, and watch his head perk up!

14. When mine was at the vet for surgery, the reaction was the opposite

He was sleeping when I arrived and as I was talking to the secretary, he barely opened his eyes.

That night, he was like velcro on me. Stayed really close.

I think they avoid you if you give them a bath, or medicine or something like that, but if they are away from you and something happens, they will stick to you --I think.

[greenbriar]

15. I can't wait to go get him tomorrow

I hope he runs to me and jumps in my arms

[Kat45]

16. Awww! He's adorable!

How could anyone not love that little cutie.
