In honor of World Spay Day, Laila is
celebrating by showing off photos of her bare/"covered" belly after she
was spayed a little over four years ago. And what a coincidence it
falls on Tummy Tuesday!
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!
We're all behind World Spay Day. Spay/neuter is such an important thing!
ReplyDeleteThat was a great idea instead of the cone of shame- your Mom should market that.
ReplyDeleteSpay day is every day if we can catch a feral!
ReplyDeletePrecious girl. I am proud of you and your momma too for getting you spayed and you being such a good girl.
ReplyDeleteIt was better to look silly with that tube on than to wear the horrible cone.
ReplyDeleteSpaying is so important and I wish all people would have it done for their kitties.
My human found something that looked like a life preserver to put over my neck instead of that awful cone when I got spayed. After I healed, she donated it to a cat rescue.
ReplyDeleteI love this post. Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteSpaying and neutering are just so important. Kittens are so cute but so many go homeless. Laila, we are so glad you made it through that surgery.
ReplyDeleteYes you lady cats have much more to deal with than us boy cats getting our hoo-ha's snipped.
ReplyDeleteWe are so grateful that you brought awareness to this day, Laila. And you have such a wonderful mom, finding a way to get you out of that cone of shame!
ReplyDeleteYou make a beautiful example, Laila :)
ReplyDeleteYour mom is so smart! That contraption looks way more comfy than one of those awful cones. I didn't bother my stitches when I got spayed, but EG did. It drove Mom crazy. MOL MOL
