My boyfriend is a veterinarian, and I have see it many many times, that the kitties are up and running around as soon as they are completely awake. Will depend on age and size of kitty, and the experience of your vet. There really is no down time except for procedure, and waking up. Good luck!

depends on the kitten. Some are up and about as soon as they come out of it. Some take a couple days to laze around. It depends on the individual pet just as recovery time does with people.

We just had our one year old spayed and she was back to normal in about 3 days. She doesn't stretch her body out like she did before(because of the surgery scar) but she is running around and playing like she was.

depending on the age, you are looking at about 1-2 days probably.no matter what age, day one is going to be moping around.day 2 could be good or bad, depending on how old she actually is. I've had 2 cats spayed since I left home and both were back up and playing by day 2.had another spayed a couple of months before I left home (we were not certain how old she really was) and it actually took her about 3 days to get back up and going (she was a little younger than we thought).good luck! Try to have some shredded paper for kitty litter for a couple of days till she starts healing some (you don't want an infection)

I work at a cat shelter/rescue (no kill) and ive seen my share of spayed females. USUALLY they'll be back to normal between 3-5 days, it is suggested by most vets that they take the first few days of recovery well rested and easy. They'll recommend no jumping, no extensive climbing, that sorta thing. Just make sure she is above 2 pounds, which is the lowest possible weight for them to be fixed. If she is below 2 pounds, even a little- there are health complications. Good luck to you and your kitty!

She will be back to her old self in a few days, but you should restrict her activity for at least a week. Sutures usually come out in 10-14 days. Animals are very resilient! Humans take about two weeks to recover from a surgery like that.
