We've got a spay appointment!

Squeakers came out normal on the definitive test! The vet is overcautious to the extreme and insisted on yet another test for coagulation. I took her in yesterday for that, snatching her from her nap place in the garage near Dempsey. They also did yet another pre-op blood test, though why they need that after all the freaking blood tests she's had is beyond me. Tuesday is spay day if the coagulation study comes out all right. I'm thinking it will.

When we got home, I let her loose and she came into the house with me. Dempsey came in looking for her to to my dismay she started to assume the mating position and dance for him. He went over hesitantly because we were watching then grabbed her neck. We broke things up at that point and insisted he leave. The steel door is back in place. Eric thought they were only playing until later in the evening when she started yowling a bit.

Darn. I was hoping we'd get her spayed before her next heat. Well, only a few more days of this then we're done with it.

pfew luckily you were in time to break up that love affair.
But if they were sleeping before so cosy next to oneanother, aren't you afraid that Dempsey already gotten to her? And that she's pregnant now?

Yes, I am. But she's getting spayed on Tuesday so it doesn't matter. I just hope she didn't catch any diseases from him.

Wow! This was close! I thought she had already gone out of heat! I have a feeling that tonight and tomorrow are going to be really difficult....Good Luck!!

She was out of heat for less than a week. Each cat is individual. Scampi had a couple of weeks between heats when Eric was in charge of spaying her. I took over before the third! lol

My ex wife used to assume the mating position and dance, as soon as she'd decided to divorce me. Of course, I only got to see it at a distance, if at all, so I was never close enough to grab her by the neck ;p

Oh man! I'm sorry. But with your feelings about children, maybe that was for the best. ;)
