Thanks Kitty. When I took her in this morning, the tech explained how it is done.

They give a sedative in the back leg muscle...and the cat calms down and gets sleepy. The anesthetic itself is a gas mixture with ketamine and some other ingredients. I thought she said BuCat, or something similar. They will call me today, when she can come home..depending on when the surgery actually happens.

I am getting Houdini chipped too. It is now very affordable and it will ease my mind if she "disappears" someday.

Houdini was more difficult to CATch today. But she did not cry in the car, and was not trembling. (not like hysterical Weezie).

Sigh.... I'll be glad when this is OVER!
