Declawed

One of the conditions of living in my mom's basement is that Gogo had to be declawed so he didn't claw up the carpet. So on Monday I took Gogo to Animal Crackers Vet and got his front claws out. He was so groggy when I brought him home. All he wanted was to be held and sleep. When he walked around he stumbled around like he was drunk. It was sad and funny to watch at the same time. He had bandages on his paws and when he started waking up he wanted to get them off. During the night he managed to get one of them off by putting his paw in between a tote and the bottom of a shelf and pulling. He is a pretty smart kitty. The other one he got off the next day by flicking his paw a bunch. He is starting to feel and act more like himself now. I think he is sad that his claws are gone, but he will just have to deal.

Full Recovery

Gogo was a very good kitty at the vet. When he got home he was still very groggy from the antithetic, so he stayed in the pet taxi for a while before he realized he was home. When he tried to walk around, he looked like he was drunk because his back end was numb still. It was funny and sad to see him stumble around. When I put him on the bed all he wanted was to cuddle so I let him make himself comfortable and I let him sleep on me for a while. It was too cute because he let his head drop every few minuets and his nose ended up being pushed into my leg. He was just so tired. Gogo has now made a full recovery and is just as active as ever. I just hope being neutered makes it so he won't pee on things anymore.

Gogo's Surgery

This morning Joel and I took Gogo to the vet to get neutered. For the past couple of days he has been acting quite melancholy. Like he knew something was going to happen. Last night I had to take away his food and water so he didn't have anything in his tummy for surgery. I felt really bad this morning when he was meowing at me for food and I couldn't give it to him. Last night we gave him a bath so he would be really clean for the vet. He was really good for his bath. he didn't try too hard to get out of the tub. But he sure was glad when he was all dry. He was really good in the pet taxi on the way to the vet, and he didn't try to get away from the vet when she had him on the table examining him. I hope everything goes well today. It is weird not having him home. I will be excited to see him again, even though he won't be gone for that long.
