They're Back!

This is the boys this morning before they went to the vet for their big hoohaectomies. It was a long day, and I worried a TON, but they are home now and seem to be doing okay.

I got a call from the vet this morning and the vet noticed that Wrigley's big boy teeth were popping through, just like Cobalt's has previously been. So she wanted our permission to pull his baby teeth. We gave the permission and Wrigley had his 2 baby teeth pulled. Besides that, everything went smoothly...or so I thought! HAHA. I got to the vet and she gave us our total which didn't sound right to me. So, I asked if they had done everything we requested. As it turns out, they didn't chip them. So while we were there waiting, they got chipped. It must have hurt because we could hear their cries all the way up in the waiting room. Poor guys.

Anyways, now we are home, and everybody seems to be doing good. Cobalt, though, seems to be really mad. He has been hissing like crazy at Wrigley and won't seem to give him a break. Then Chris decided to hold a mirror in front of him and he hissed at his reflection. So we think he just doesn't like the collars they have to wear. Oh well...7-10 days of this stuff. I don't know how we're going to last that long. Hopefully they'll be healed up good by the end because on the 9th day my mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law are coming and they haven't met the boys yet. So I hope they're in good loving moods. Only time will tell.

Here they are right when we got home. Cute huh? The vet and all the techs just loved them. They said any time ANYBODY walked past their cage they just started crying and meowing like crazy. These boys just loved to be loved. HAHA!
I get to show off Wrigley's new look!

Wrigley going potty for the first time. I know, not his best place to be posing, but it was a good photo op because he was sitting still.
Laser eyes to beam these collars somewhere far away.


Can we still be man cats even though we do not have man bits? We hope the answer is yes!

We are glad they are home and feeling frisky. We did not have collars when we got fixed. For that we are glad. It does not look like fun.

Oh those collars look very uncomfy.
Pierro had his manbits removed last week. He does not wear a collar but we got a bottle of bitter apple liquid to sort of put around the area so he wont lick. mom puts it on with a qtip.
Yay for getting chipped.
I am glad they survived the surgery ordeal with not too much hurtie.

Poor little boys ! but why do they have to wear a collar ??? Never heard of that if they only had to be spayed. Not even with my females. Usually a collar is to protect from scratching themselves, are they doing that ??

We don't remember wearing these collars, either. It could be the V*T is just playing safe. (or maybe the V*T just has a bunch of spare collars to unload?)

And yes, W & C, you can still be mancats even after a hoo-hah-ectomy.

I am so glad that the hoo-haaectomies went well. I recently got chipped, but I don't remember it. I think they did it while I was out getting my teeth cleaned.

I am sure glad I didn't have to wear one of those collars.

Poor little guys! We're glad that everything went well though! And yay for being chipped, we're all chipped, just in case...
