Domino is (hopefully) neutered tomorrow

[Samz5]

Well a whole year after this stray cat first walked through our catflap, with a big open wound on his neck and this week he will finally be brought into the house as a member of the family.
He's booked in for tomorrow for neutering and to have his teeth sorted out, just got to wait for him to stroll in this afternoon and keep him shut in overnight , I can just tell this is going to be a nightmare, this is a cat who has been living on the streets for about 3 -4 years I don't think he'll enjoy being shut in one room overnight.
So we've got to Domino proof our office today, which will mainly involve moving everything out of 'spray' distance and covering the computers with dustbin liners overnight. Then he'll have to stay in here for recovery, and hopefully our cats will like him a little more once hes been done.

Big day/changes for Domino!! I do hope that he suprises you with how very well he settles indoors. Keep us posted and good luck to him for tomorrow and you for tonight!!

Good luck with/for Domino.
I'm still kicking myself that i didn't snaffle an unneutered male stray/homeless boy (Mr Balls ) who used to hang around and sometimes came into the house - full of scabs, abscesses, scratches etc. He was so bad the next-to-last time I saw him 'whole' that I determined next time he came in the house I'd nab him and get him to the vet and then try to totally domesticate him. He next came in on a Saturday morning - I knew I couldn't keep him in the house till Monday and I thought 2 days in the shed would stress him to bits, so I gave him a bit of a cuddle, a bit of food and told myself 'next time'. Didn't work. Somebody along the road had the same idea and snaffled him instead.
It was good to see him blossom into a happy, healthy, plump, house cat though.
Sounds as though Domino is ready to give up his life on the tiles and settle in front of the fire instead. Good luck

Good luck with Domino tonight and I hope everything goes well for him tomorrow Fingers crossed too that he settles in quietly with your other cats

Good luck with keping him in and I hope it all goes well at the vets for him.

He should be grateful after all!!!!

Any update??? As in has he shown up? It doesnt sound like it will be easy

No sign of him yet, I know he ate in the early hours of the morning because he cleans every last scrap of food of the plates, our cats always leave a bit, this morning the plates were clean and Rags was starving! A sure sign that Domino has been round.
I expect him to turn up anytime between now and 10pm, for his dinner... I have to go babysit my little brothers in a little while so my b/f will deal with him until I get home. We are ready!! I will post later tonight and let you know how its going!

Well he's here! He turned up about 10.30 apparently, and was not to happy about being shut in as expected, but hes been here a couple of hours and has settled down a bit, hes happy enough for now. So tomorrows the big day at last!
