Suki, after a long rest....

I'd like to thank everyone who had written in to enquire about Suki, and also to offer your ideas on what had happened and how it should have been done better.

Let me assure everyone that Suki is fine now.  She took a long nap after returning from the clinic yesterday, and by midnight, was up and about, and even ate four spoonfuls of AD. 

Here are some photos:

After a long nap...

Not as mischievous as usual, but getting there...


At her favourite chair, this morning.


As I'm writing this post, right now.  She jumped up by herself.  She loves sitting with me whenever I write.

Thank you very much for all your positive thoughts, healing energy and also comments, which I am sure, were all given in good faith and with all good intentions.  I have noted all comments, and will certainly learn from the wisdom shared.   

Suki is back to normal again now.  Phew, I'm glad each kitten only has to go through this once in its lifetime!

=) Suki does look kinda blur for now. No need to wear e-collar?

Poor Suki, pain is still written all over her pretty face. Kittens her age usually are fully up and purring happily already the next day, only the older cats look like that.

Sayang, Suki .... Mama sayang .....

No need e-collar.

Spaying is total hysterectomy. It is a major surgery and takes time to recover. I would prefer her to sleep and rest rather than prance around her usual style. She is eating well. Urinated and defecated last night too.

Yes, KY, I agree, not all spay/neuter cases need the e-collar - not a single one of my numerous strays spay/neuters needed any use of the collar at all because the surgeons did a very good job each time - a very small cut (not more than an inch), and very neat hardly visible stitching, no plaster even.

Simply putting a collar on automatically without confirming required (excessive licking and pulling at the stitches) or not will only stress the cat unnecessarily.

KY, I am not sure I understand your statement, but is it because everyone is jumping in standing over your shoulder to give you an earful of what should and should not be done for Suki? If so, hehehehheeeee!!! So many "mak angkat", eh? Then, I guess, like those famous and glamorous celebrities, your Princess Suki has become like public property, eh?

It is hard being a celebrity, ya Suki? Harder being Mama to a celebrity, eh KY? Any paparazzi stalking your house?

KY, if anytime I have erred by being one of those "mother-in-laws", I apologise ... ha! ha!

Meanwhile, get well, sweet little one!

Well, no. It's people who judge too harshly and jump to conclusions, giving unhelpful comments which I cannot publish because they are not beneficial and might offend others.

The community cats do not wear collars after neutering, if the surgical wound is well stitched up. Try wearing a collar yourself and see how it feels, then you will not wish it unnecessarily on a cat or dog.
