Caring for Your Cat After Spay or Neuter Surgery
Under anesthesia your cat is dazed but inwardly anxious, angry, and fearful, and will rebound once home. Care: stay with it during anesthetic recovery (male cats may not blink—use eye drops); wait at least 6 hours before water and food, then give a quiet, clean space without over-attention; isolate from other cats and keep the E-collar on 7+ days to stop licking; watch for discharge or fever after 2–3 days and see a vet. Post-op prescription cans adds antibiotics and tempts appetite while keeping nutrition balanced (crucial—avoid constipation, especially females). No can? A plain steamed mash of chicken, liver, fish/beef, and egg works; the cat will eat more and may get sleepy and plump, so control portions.

Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD): Causes, Signs and Treatment
Feline lower urinary tract syndrome (FLUTD) is divided into obstructive and non-obstructive types. Obstructive means the urethra is fully or partially blocked. Within 2–3 days of complete blockage, urine retained in the bladder flows backward to the kidneys; this back-pressure suppresses glomerular filtration, causing waste and toxins to accumulate in the blood and leading to uremia. If not treated within 3–6 days, the cat can die. The non-obstructive type is milder; with prompt catheterization and proper daily care, it largely resolves on its own within a week.
