The operation. Our vets are so lovely. They arranged for the kitties to go in early in the morning before dropping Jason off at work, have their operation done mid-morning, come round from their anaesthetic around lunchtime and then we were allowed to pick them up at half 3. Super. We thought that they would have to wear wee cones (and truth be told I was kind of looking forward to that) but the vet only advised using the cone if they were being really naughty. [Aside: We tried putting one on Miho and she went NUTS. Not happy. She ran around the room banging into things. I'd rather she bit the stitches!] That first evening was quite stressful, they just kept licking and biting their wounds and it was really difficult trying to distract them with toys and snacks. Benki's eyes were all over the place, he was really out of his mind. When we all woke up the next day, they were back to normal. A visit to see the nurse a few days later confirmed that. She was very happy with their progress and didn't want to see them again. Excellent. The stitches are dissolvable so should fall out in the next few days. I didn't get any photos of Benki's wee scar (without it seeming sordid, I mean it's in a really private place!) so you'll just have to go awwwww at my wee girl's shaved side. It's starting to grow in already but it will be a few weeks yet, I think. The good news is that they are both absolutely fine and as I type this are running around the house at 100mph chasing each other.
