My male cat is getting fixed next week, are there going to be any side affects when he gets home?

Question

he is usually very friendly and active, but when he comes home will he be tired, or aggresive or anything like that for a little while???

Answer 1

no he will be more affectionate and calm.  He wont spray wither or make unwanted kittens.  Good JOB and enjoy him

Answer 2

When he gets home he will be a little groggy. He should use his litter box as normal but instead of litter put shredded newspaper in it. The litter will stick to the surgery site and you dont want that as it can lead to infection. Should not be aggresive. After he is fixed for awhile he will actually become more friendly and will gain some weight. Good luck    

Answer 3

Most likely, he'll be tired. I doubt he will show any aggression unless someone is bugging him when he wants to sleep.

Just put a pillow in the sun so he can sleep and make him comfortable, he may be a little more or a little less hungry than normal, but that's normal too. Don't worry, your kitty will be fine.

Answer 4

He should feel just fine if the vet prescribes some pain medication for him to take for a couple of days.  NO animal should ever have surgery without the benefit of pain medication...to do so is inhumane and goes against the AVMA guidelines for care.
