Although not 6 months old yet, she became very loud and affectionate the last month and we didn't want to risk Maesi getting into heat and causing us sleepless nights for 1,5 weeks or so. Therefore I asked the vet for advise and she said I'd help her with 5 months. We made the appointment and last Thursday was the day.
Without any issues, we managed to put her in the carrier, not knowing what was going to happen soon. As soon as we dropped her off, they took her into another room and she became very loud and in distress immediately, poor thing.
We received a phone call from the vet's assistant that everything went well and we could pick her up three hours later. Upon arrival she was still in the nursery so we had to wait a little. She had a plastic cone on her head, and we had to wait in the other room where she immediately figured out how to get her paw in between the cone and her neck. This resulted in her taking off the cone within just minutes time. Sigh, sometimes it's so annoying to have a smart cat, lol.
She was very restless and didn't fancy being there at all. I said I'd put on the cone at home as I bought one online a few weeks ago. It's made from felt and I had the idea it's smaller than the one they put on.
I was right, it fitted well, but smart little Maesi was not going to rest until she mastered the skill of taking off the cone. She fell asleep with her paws locked on the cone and 15 minutes later it was off, lol.
Time to rest, lol..
Too bad Luna was acting very bitchy when she came home and we had to separate them for about a day completely to avoid Maesi's wound getting ripped open as Luna was being very mean. Maesi had to be watched constantly especially as putting the cone on was not going to work. Instead we told her to be careful every time she tried pulling the stitches, which she seemed to understand, thankfully.
The wound looks great and we're about to head to the vet to have her check up. I don't foresee any issues though, just a random check up for the wound. Right now we can leave them together again as they are behaving and Maesi already went back to her old self a few days ago, tough cookie!
Now that Luna is becoming more loud as well, I'm trying to get her scheduled in a week or 2 from now, so that we have them sorted. Right now it's still summer holidays so it's great to have 3 sets of eyes on the cats instead of just 2, lol. I predict Luna is going to be very miserable though, as she's not such a tough cookie as Maesi, but we'll see.
Up to the vet!
