My 6 month old cat was spayed last Friday.

Since then she's not been too bad but a couple of times I've had to wipe her rear as she's had wee and litter stuck to her (not poop).

I know she's probably finding it awkward to wash with the cone-head collar on but wondered if this is "normal" as she wees 4 or more times a day but it's only been a few times where she's run around "dirty" (or at least, that's how often I've noticed it - I hope she's not wiping her bottom anywhere!)

She's flea'd and wormed.

Any idea?

It's probably the collar - it will be harder to balance and clean herself with it on. Once it is off things should return to normal.

I suspect it's just cuz she's not been able to wash herself. When she goes for a wee is it hurting her, is she sitting in a different way to wee and therefore getting litter on her? Also, I think you'd be safe to remove the cone now, wasn't she done the end of last week? I don't think it's anything to be concerned about, when is she due to have the stiches removed?

the cone is coming off on Monday.

We briefly took the cone off on Monday last because we tried to do the t-shirt trick but she bit at her stitches very aggressively and it was a total disaster so we put it back on.

I don't think the wee is hurting her... she's always been a very wee-ing cat (she's always drunk a reasonable amount once she learnt how do).

Thanks ladies as always. xxx

Aw bless her. Maybe it's because of the cone round her head. Hope she feels better soon..xxx
