Is my cat going to be ok?

Is my cat going to be ok?

We have two female 8 month old cats (sisters) that we just got spayed and declawed a few days ago. Atreyu seems to be fine besides her paws being a lil bit soar, but Lelu seems very tired still and kind of moody towards her sister. She doesn't really walk around to much just to get food and go to the litter box. Her paws and stomach look like they are healing fine. I'm just wondering if she will go back to her normal crazy, playful self once her paws heal completly.

That's a hard question to answer.  Cats do sometimes have a personality change from being fixed.

As to declawing, many cats will react badly to finding themselves without their main defense mechanism. Some never really recover from declawing amputation procedures.

All you can do is be patient, loving, understanding and hope your kitty will adjust.

Savas! How art thou? heh..

Lisha, sounds like your cats is acting tired because of the spaying procedure. Some cats do not take anesthesia lightly, and spaying isn't the same as neutering. Spaying can cause the cats to urinate themselves, be a bit listless or act tired for days. It also causes appetite loss. So, I would not be surprised if one or both decided to refuse eating for now. Keep them calm. Make them rest. Give it time and follow your vet's advice.

As for declawing, if the paws are healing fine, like you said I would not worry about the paws getting an infection. Are they getting antibiotics and pain killers? Don't ever let them leave the house. Some cats with claws get traumatized when they get lost. Be patient. Give them re-assurance and love. Did you do all four paws? Or all 8 paws?
