My Rescued Unfixed Male Has Hit The Wall N Wants Out. Sad

[RLG]

He's getting neutered but it hurts to see him want out. We have calming spray n I give him access to the big double door window but tonight he's nutty probably cuz it's warmer so I opened it up (have before) n let him breathe in the fresh air. Hate seein him bummed but I know what's best. He's layin down on floor flapping his tail some. He went for the door latch-smart boy

You are doing the right thing keeping him in and getting him neutered. To make sure he is fully healed i wouldn't let him out for at least two weeks after surgery. Thank you.

Getting a male cat neutered is a much simpler surgery than a spay surgery for a female cat. When is his neuter appointment? You can probably let him back out a couple days after the surgery if he is fully active again. You are doing the right thing getting him neutered. He will have a much healthier and happier life, so it's worth the discomfort he is experiencing now being kept confined. Also, you will never have to worry about him bringing his kittens to you to care for. Yes, some male Tom's do that.

Remember cats are masters at making you feel guilty. How did you get him in?

Guess you have to weigh after to get him fixed if his life will be better outside or inside. Or he might turn out to be an inside/outside guy...we have a few rescues like that.

You are doing a good thing for him in spite of how he makes you feel.

I'm doing inside n might attempt harness after neuter. I may find him forever home. I can't afford it but I'm attached. He's a cuddlier n starting to play. There are many predators where I am and he'd be in danger. I'll play as much as I can. Currently we have episodes of meowing or yowling at wildlife outside the 2 huge windows

His name is Shmoo Gledhill n he has FB page to keep history etc

Glad you are keeping him safe from predators and even bad weather. Sounds like he is loving and playful...hope you can keep him. Or maybe find him a home with one of your friends so you can still see him?

I love him, shots coming up n then neuter

Oh, he's got it good, it's just hard knowing he wants out but that he probably doesn't ...it's at night that he gets nutty cuz of the wildlife. I just say "uh huh, yep, no way" to all his chatting.

Today after b-12 inj n distemper

 

[RLG]

He's doing ok inside he just has 2 huge windows that have a variety of smells, wildlife n woods. He's comfy with air n view n screen door which I will shore up but it's new with no tears.

I don't see him on harness till well after neuter

 

[RLG]

Good with vet today, she came by

He looks pretty happy to me! It looks like he's smiling in his sleep.

I'm so glad he is making the adjustment to being an indoor cat. It is much less stressful caring for an indoor than an outdoor cat, and he will be calmer and more content after the neuter. Keep us updated.

It will take three or four weeks post neuter for the testosterone to recede to the new levels. Hopefully the desire to roam will also recede. Good luck, and thank you for rescuing this furry soul!
