My kittens got desexed a couple of days ago. This involved putting them into the cat cage and walking up to the vet. They were not impressed with this - the claw scratches on my arms are healing well

I was impressed with the vet - I got a heap of handouts explaining what would happen, including full details of the anaesthesia, which I checked out of course
.
.

It was uneventful - they are eating and drinking well. They have been fitted out with what amount to plastic lampshades on their heads to stop them from licking their small (a few cm) abdominal incisions until they have completely healed. They find them a bit disconcerting - keep on bumping into things.

The vet nurse told me that I should keep them as quiet as possible for about a week, which has been a non-trivial task
.
. I have confined them to the kitchen, laundry and computer room which is sort-of working.
