Surgery is DONE!!!!!! No problems!! He's just waking up!!

I found it such a relief as soon as the surgery was over, the decision was made , you cannot second guess yourself any more and you can concentrate on the future with your cat.
It is amazing how cats do not really notice the loss of a leg, as many people say it upsets us much more than them.
I hope the recovery goes really well, my cat did get a bit clingy but that is a really nice problem to have!

- "Mr Toplady was touched by the cruelty of the scene, and exclaimed, ' Who could bear to see that sight, if there were not to be some compensation for these poor suffering animals in a future state' 'I certainly hope,' said my grandfather, ' that all the bulls will go to heaven; but do you think this will be the case with all the animal creation' 'Yes, certainly,' replied Mr Toplady, with great emphasis, ' all, all!" - Josiah Bull (recording a meeting with the great A. M. Toplady, author of "Rock of Ages" in "Memorials of the Rev. William Bull of Newport, Pagnel")

Fantastic news!! That's an amazing feeling when you get that news, isn't it?! NOW... please try to get some rest. When is the plan to take him home? Between now and then it would be really great if you could get some restful sleep, nap, just close your eyes and breathe for a while
I cannot remember if they will be keeping him the evening or not, sorry. I am at work so my time to pop in is limited.
Hugs, so glad things went without a hitch
