Last Tuesday I took CJ to the vet to FINALLY be neutered. He had to go a day early so they could make sure he didn't eat before his surgery the following day. And I decided to leave him an extra day so he could recuperate- with him being an outdoor cat and all.
Well, when I went to pick him up Thursday evening a bit of drama ensued. He had licked his incision on one side and caused himself some problems- things poking out that weren't supposed to, stuff like that. So, after some poking, gluing and placement of a collar, he was sent home with orders to stay INDOORS for 4-5 days. WHAT? I was pretty well stuck doing it, because leaving him at the vet was not an option- he absolutely WILL NOT EAT at the vet's office AND he can't eat wearing "the cone."
So, he has been inside my bathroom since Thursday night. Luckily, I was off this weekend and was able to go in every few hours and remove "the cone" so he could eat. He's gained weight and has been quite happy inside, which surprised me, and led to a monumental decision on my part (see Adventures of CJ, Part 2).
