Gibby and Cricket got spayed today.. I was told by the clinic that this was normal:

however, in all the years that I have had kittens get spayed I’ve never seen such bruising. This is cricket. To me it looks like she has ripped a stitch out. I have her confined separate from the other two. I will be up all night monitoring her looking for any type of active bleeding as well as checking her gums to make sure she isn’t bleeding out somewhere. I know they told me that this is normal but again it’s the first time I’ve ever seen it and it was a little bit offputting and concerning.

Flash was going absolutely nuts without her sister today. I spent as much time as I could with her,  I discovered that she likes to play fetch. If I crinkle up a small piece of notebook paper and flick it in her direction. She will run and grab it and then bring it back to me! She’s such a clown. But I could tell she was very lonely today. I had a full schedule of things to do. But most of them got put to the side because she is more important.

Many thanks to those of you who helped to make this possible. It’s so nice to know that they will never have to deal with the stress of having kittens. The girls at the clinic were talking about how much these kittens purr. They purr more than they do anything else, and their purrs are loud and very comforting.
