Our oldest cat George has been suffering from hyperthroyidism, which meant he was losing weight no matter how much he ate and as eating is George favorite activity after sleeping this was unusual enough to merit a vet visit.

He went in for his operation this morning and I picked him up at 4:30pm.

The vet gave specific instructions for Georgie's post operation recovery. I was to take him home and place the carrycase in a quiet spot and to let George come out when he was ready. The vet explained that as an older cat, George would not need or want any food for several hours and I was not meant to be worried about any lack of appetite in George.

Little does the vet know about my cat...within seconds of being released from his carrycase, George staggered to the nearest plate of food and cleared it. As I said eating is George's favorite activity.
