Post-Surgery

Allegro, Andante and Largo came through their neuters very well, without any difficulty. Even last night, they acted as if there had been no surgery. They were hungry, and I fed them small amounts over an extended period, but by bed-time, they were still hungry - nine pound cats who are, probably, still growing, who had been without food for a night and a day, will be - so I gave them their usual bed-time amount (I think that bed-time meal may have been the extra food that has helped create the giants I now live with.)

The cones went on at night, but I don’t think they are necessary. Watching the youngsters without the cones, I see them play, wrestle, chase, jump, roll, sleep, groom - everything but bother the surgical site. Neuters are probably the least worrisome significant operation a cat can have.

Presto is back to having his meals with his brothers, and staying in the library with them when the rest of the Cosy Cabin needs a break from their high activity, but he remains out at bedtime. That gives him the opportunity to sleep on the bed, or play with Coda, both influential factors in a possible adoption. I would let the other Tempos roam free through the night but five kittens, along with two big adults who like playing with them, might result in too many sleepless hours.

All the Tempos are now ready for their adoptions, when and if they happen.
