| Murphy might be a little groggy for a while depending on his age but
other than that and using paper instead of clay in the kitty box, he
should be fine. I kept Beauty in his carrier until the grogginess
wore off just so he wouldn't hurt himself trying to walk or climb
around. Plenty of water is a must.... Beauty was in fine voice too.

| RE: When will it be ok to let her out?
The vet's usually say not to let them out for about 2 weeks.
RE: What food to feed her?
With my cats, neither ate very much when they came home. It takes a
while for the anesthesia (sp?) to wear off. Don't leave alot of food
out for her...her stomach may get upset with the anesthesia...
Both my doctors gave me a page of instructions to go home with
regarding food, litter box, activity, etc....Above is what they told
me.

| When my two were neutered I was instructed not to give them food or
water when they first got home. Then when I went to bed I put water
down for them and "just a handful of food", not their normal ration, to
tide them over 'til morning.
Come a.m. they were fine.
Can't comment on letting them out - mine are indoor only.

| Well, he's home.
He was *very* groggy and when I first seen him in the little cage in
the vet I felt so sorry for him. I started talking to him and he
lifted his little head swayed from side to side and cried, "take me
home".
Put his favourite blanket in his favourite place (infront of the fire)
and he slept there all night until bedtime, when I moved his blanket to
the side of my bed, and again he fell into a deep sleep until I got up
this morning. I gave him a little water and a little food which he
even purred for this morning (John was a bit worried last night that
Murphy wasn't purring).
thanks for the help.

| He may not be purring because something about the method of giving
anesthesia often leaves the cat with a sore throat.

| My Mr. Miyagi just has major teeth extraction. The anesthesia
was admistered by a tube down the throat (after he had been put
to sleep by in injection) and he didn't want to purr or talk
for 3 days.
When he finally started I knew all was well again. (He didn't
want to talk either which is most unusual for him.)
