Mika well-cared for today

Mika captured the heart of Nurse Kate today while she was in for her desexing surgery. Kate stayed with her until she was fully recovered from her anaesthetic. She then reluctantly left Mika resting in a heated cage with her soft toy whale while she attended the other patients in hospital.

Love is in the air!

Mika has been trying to find a way out into the wild world for the past 3 days. Her yowling, rolling and over-the-top affection are driving her family crazy.
Although she is only 4 months old she has come into season and could fall pregnant if she found a tomcat outside.
Cats will often start to cycle as the days get longer in August and September, even if they are barely out of kittenhood themselves.
Mika's carers have booked her in for a spey next week. Once cats start cycling they keep it up every 2-3 weeks until they fall pregnant - and Mika's owners don't want their beautiful Burmese to have motley kittens!

Our star Asta!

Young cats like Asta recover rapidly after desexing.  They have pain prevention before surgery and more during the operation.  Cuddles during recovery and a warm bed to curl up in afterward ensure that they are happy and ready for dinner when their carers come to pick them up.
