Not-So-Fluffy Flashback Friday

January 7, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat33 Comments

Since my human has been a little scattered this week (I am having a hard time getting her to focus on work here), I thought I would give her a break today and post some photos from back when I was spayed. That was in January, 2003 — eight years ago! I did not want to pose with my bare belly.

You have no idea how hard it was to get me to sit still!

This had nothing to do with any sense of modesty (which I don’t have) — I did not know I was supposed to take it easy! And even if I did know, I did not want to obey. Just a couple of days after the operation, I was back ambushing Boodie.

Boodie said that if I did that again she was going to "spay me for keeps."

And I immediately went back to my usual activities, one of which was destroying the sparkle ball that was leftover from Christmas. If you look close you can see pieces of it on top of the blanket.

Die, evil Christmas toy! Die!

Much to my human’s relief, I did wear myself out occasionally. And happily, my stitches were the dissolving type so I did not have to go back to the vet.

It took a LOT to wear me out!

    It’s so funny to see an Aby-looking kitten with long hair! When I was that age, I was all smooth.
    I know it’s not as big a deal for a boycat, but I was supposed to take it easy, too. And I totally didn’t. I yelled at the vet to bring me food as soon as I woke up! Ha!

    Ah, youth, when the energy is limitless and healing is rapid. But growing up has its perks too. It’s just nice to be a furry with a home, isn’t it. 🙂

    I was 5 years old when Mom adopted me, so I had already been spayed.
    Those were adorable pictures of you and you were certainly spry after your
    surgery!

    Those are seriously cute pictures, Sparkle! Did your Mom do what #1 does to me, which is lavish kisses on my bare tummy?!

    You are such a gorgeous girl, Miss Sparkle, even without all of your belly furs. Sparkle balls are Not Allowed in our house, because somecat tears them up in less than a minute. Our mom is afraid that Fuzzy, er, somecat, will eat the tinsel and get hurt. Snot fair.

    Wow, M is very impressed dat you still has pictures from 8 years ago. I wonder how many thousands you has cuz I’ve been on twitter for 3 years now (YIKES) and blogging for 1. We has lots of pictures too, to the point where M thinks we might run out of puter room.

    Boy am I glad you said you were “scattered” this week too! I thought it was just me! I have been having an AWFUL time this week trying to focus and have been feeling completely unmotivated since yesterday. Do you think it is something in the stars????? (I am not kidding!!)

    Sparkle was gorgeous even as a little one and even with a shaved belleh!
    Here is to a better week for both of us next week!

    I can see that kittenish girl-cat look in your face in the photo with the ball, Sparkle. Was your Mom ever tempted to let you have kittens? Our family had an Abyssinian YEARS ago, and they delayed having her spayed, thinking they MIGHT breed her. Well, she escaped once when she was in heat, and as a result had some really cute non-pure bred kittens, but after that they did have her spayed, not wanting to further add to the cat population. Your face reminds Mom of her and her kittens a lot.

    We all took it easy for at least an hour after our hohectomy. That wasn’t any fun but we got over it just like you did. Good job ambushing Boodie. Great pictures. Take care and have a fun day Sparkle.

    Awwww. Dahlia here. Mama has the photos she took of me after I was spayed, too. She says I look so sad. Well, of COURSE I did! It hurt! And my tummy was naked in the cold, wet springtime. 🙁

    We especially love the third photo, Sparkle! You were having such fun with your ball! 🙂

    The mom doesn’t remember Annie taking it easy, either, after she was spayed. And thank goodness for dissolving stitches! 🙂
