Thanks guys. made me smile reading these. lol. Yep. got snipped Tommy. New state law, so had to do it. he made it through just fine. I was never going to do the surgery because he had a stroke at birth and bobcats have a hard time waking up from sedation even with no health problems, so I felt he was at a greater risk. That didn't mean a thing to the state though. So I had to get him fixed. I'm just glad it went well. That hour or so after surgery waiting for him to wake up was hell. I laid next to him quite a bit and petted him.
He was so groggy for about 4 hours. and couldn't stand very well, as you could see in the video. but he's fine now. And no signs of any pain. He's purring and been giving me those awesome bobcat headbutts tonight. He's such a good boy. I've worked with a lot of bobcats and other species of wildcats at the sanctuary I volunteer at, and never have seen one as loving as he is. Just an amazing cat. and super intelligent. they have a very high intelligence level. Much like a dog.
Again, thanks for all your guys support the last few weeks leading up to this. It really helped. Glad I have you guys as friends.
Yep Rudy, if you're ever in the area let me know. I can set you up with accomodations here. and even a beautiful bobat that will purr like a freight train all night, so loud that you cannot sleep, then the kneading begins, claws into your chest, back, legs...... then at 8 in the morning almost exactly he will pounce on you to let you know it's time to eat. He has a built in alarm clock. lol seriously. He pounces and pounces until you wake up and feed him. and for those reasons. He has been kicked out of the bedroom. lol.
