After my surgery, they sent me home in this awful "bonnet" to keep me from bothering my stitches.
It felt so good sitting in front of the door airing out my tummy and getting all those nasty V-E-T smells off me.
Mom felt so sorry for me with that awful "bonnet" on my head, that she took it off and rigged up this contraption on my tummy to keep me from the stitches.
Because my furs were so silky soft, I had trouble keeping the tube sock on so Mom reinforced it with one of her nylon knee highs. Don't I look silly, but, hey, it worked!
Finally the knee high and sock got to come off! Here I am showing off my shaved tummy. You can barely see the scar.
The message of World Spay Day is that by spaying or neutering your pet,
by supporting spay/neuter efforts in the United States and abroad, and
by informing others of the importance of spay/neuter, you become an
important part of the solution!
Yeah for spaying! It really is the best way to go (unless, of course, you're a boy like me and got neutered instead). Thank you for showing the pictures of yourself and becoming sort of a spokescat for being spayed. And, even shaved, your tummy was pretty darned cute.
ReplyDeleteYou look funny with both. Chey never bothered her sutures after he belleh surgery. She wasn't with us when she was spayed so don't know how she handled that.
ReplyDeleteYou still look cute with that shaved tummy.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
That was so nice of you to share your tummy on this impawtant day!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to show your shaved tummy on this very importend day !
ReplyDeleteYour mom is pretty smart!
ReplyDeleteTruffle's sutures were internal, so we didn't have to worry about her stitches as much.

That contraption your human put around your middle looked pretty wacky, Laila! But I have to say, I bet it was MUCH better than the Cone of Shame!
ReplyDeleteYou wore your bare belly proudly, Laila!
ReplyDeletethat was a great idea to show how important spaying/neutering is by sharing your own experience Laila!
ReplyDeleteYou also showed that you recovered just fine and that this is such an important message to share!
Great post!
The best belly is a spayed naked one!
ReplyDeleteBoth of use were "fixed" before we came to mama, so she doesn't know how we handled our stitches. The tube sock/knee high contraption is pretty ingenious, though!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! Spay and Neuter all cats and dogs!!!! We agree!
