Very anxious tonight :(

[xBettyBoopx]

Not felt this bad for a loooooooong time.
My cat is being neutered tomorrow so I have to keep him in and he's not to have any food. He's a very vocal cat and already is doing my head in! Vets told me to keep him in from 8pm so I've had 3 n half hours of the howling and crying already. I can't go out to get away from it! I live in a small 1 bed flat!

Was already so anxious about how the hell I was gonna get him there 2moro now this on top. I have worked out my route to the vets but I have to go early and will get stuck in the works traffic.
OMG am freaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then go back for him in the afternoon, omg will never make it!!

So tired of all this bullshit tbh, 36 years of my life down the pan!!!!!!!!

Els - they always tell me to keep our cats in the night before and I never do and they have always been fine.

There is no way I could lock them in they would be totally stressed out and freaked.

I would let him out but that is just my personal opinion.

You will do it cos you have to.

Good luck

Do plenty of deep breathing the counting usually helps too .....Good luck ..I will be thinking of you both and sending you lots of positive vibes ..Kick its agora ass and show it you mean business .Enuff is enuff ..ok ??luv Sue x

We let our cat out also. He is a nightmare if kept in. I am sure he will be fine if you let him out.

I was thinking that if it got too bad I would let him out, but then if anything happened to him in the op then I would never forgive myself! Thanks for letting me know about your own personal experiences.

Thanks for replying Sue. I will be driving, it's not so much how far it is but the traffic, I panic when stuck in traffic. Of course I put up with them oh............30 years, so what's the difference 2moz

Thanks for the positive vibes yes, enuff IS enuff

Els - ok look at this way. You are not posting here saying "there is no way I can get the cat to the vet". You are saying you are going to do it though it is hard. That is an achievement isn't it?

Poor kitty, can't tell him what's going on.
