Deal With a Cat That Just Got Spayed

Has your female cat just got spayed? Read on to know what to expect and help.

Steps

 * 1)  Watch over your cat carefully. The night you bring her home, she will be groggy, depressed, and would like to be alone. You may pet her, but she will be very quiet and not her usual self. If she begins biting her stitches, return her to the vet to get a protective cone around her neck.[[Image:Deal With a Cat That Just Got Spayed Step 1.jpg|center]]
 * 2)  Ask for a flexible cone that she can wear flat or around her face.[[Image:Deal With a Cat That Just Got Spayed Step 2.jpg|center]]
 * 3) Keep a close eye on her for the days she has the stitches on and make sure she doesn't try to remove the cone.[[Image:Deal With a Cat That Just Got Spayed Step 3.jpg|center]]
 * 4)  Make her a bed. Cut a box top off and on one of the sides, cut an opening so your cat can fit in. Fold a blanket and put it in the box.[[Image:Deal With a Cat That Just Got Spayed Step 4.jpg|center]]
 * 5)  Follow your vets instructions. Most likely, the vet will tell you to give her half of her regular meal. They may also tell you to make sure she does not run around or get very energetic.[[Image:Deal With a Cat That Just Got Spayed Step 5.jpg|center]]
