- Some do and some don't keep male cats. It's an added perk: Let's him get
- expert supervision and immediate treatment if something goes wrong. It also
- saves you from having to worry about if he's recovering properly, if he's too
- dopey, should you keep the other cats from pouncing and wresting, should you
- keep him from jumping, should you call the vet, etc. By the day after surgery,
- the guys are generally A-OK, recovered from anaesthetic and ready to roll.
- You can always call in to check on the little fellow. Especially nice vets
- will call you to tell you how he's doing.
-
- Most vets keep female cats overnight, since their operation is major surgery.
