Uopdate: between the two of us, Rocket and I get her pretty cleaned up, so yay! She's still really tired, and not much energy, but her appetite is great and she's able to get up and down from my bed. She was her usual snuggly self when I went to bed last night, curling up by my head and wanting to cuddle. So it seems like everything is fine, just gotta wait for her to fully recover, get stitches out, etc.

One thing you may notice a little while later after the spaying, is that her tummy will "sag" in that spot. Its called an apron, basically fat rushing to that area, and it freaked me out when it started showing on Victoria. Turns out its normal. =|By popular request....I am now officially the Enemy of Normalcy.

Yeeeah, that's an unhappy cat. Much like dogs, cats do not like the Cone of Shame.

This is Rocket today. She's much more alert, though still spends most of her time dozing. I think she'd like to be more active, she just doesn't have the energy yet. Her appetite is great and she's been getting around fine. She's going to be such a happy cat when that cone is gone, though."Eventually, everything that you have said becomes everything you will ever say." Eireann

If your cat is willing to leave her stitches alone I think it is a good idea to take off the cone so she can clean herself. You will have to watch her constantly while it is off. I hope Rocket behaves while the cone is off. We tried doing this when my Starbuck was fixed and it did not work because she would not leave her stitches alone even with 2 sets of eyes watching her. One of my friends did this and her cat completely ignored the stitches without the cone. Good luck with Rocket.

I've never had a cat who had to wear the collar after getting spayed. My parents' cats and my Julie all left their stitches alone, except to lick around them when they cleaned themselves. I'd say give it a try and see how she does."If you pray very hard, you can become a cat person." -Angela, "The Office"
