These were a couple of the ones I fancied:

And I love this one but a) it's too expensive and b) would be too big for [STRIKE]my[/STRIKE] cat's room

I was told that the surgery went very well, George is waking up and they will call me tomorrow to let me kow what time I can pick him up.

My poor ginger boy, second night away from home

Poor wee love ... glad it's over and has gone well.

He'll be home safe tomorrow.

Picking up George at 7.40pm from the vets....

Not only he needs to be confined to a cage for 6 weeks but also on antibiotics/painkillers/wearing a lampshade for 10 days - in a cage :eek:

No idea how are we going to manage that....

Managed to find someone who will lend me 2 cages though - one big and one medium....hopefully one of them will be suitable....

Ohhhh lordy, that does sound difficult....:(

Glad you've managed to find some crates though!:D

I'd maybe go for the bigger one while the lampshade is on ... see how it goes once it comes off and you could move him to the smaller one if he's being too active.

Glad he's coming home tonight - it's awful when they not here.

George at home, his poor leg looks awful all shaven.... he attacked food like he has nto eaten for 3 days poor thing, had a drink, had a pee - went into litter tray and peed completely lying down, peed for agesssss

Went to lie down on a cushion then back to eat, he is still heavily sedated poor thing...

Awww, poor love. Glad he's home......

Photos were too big - deleted

Awwwww, poor wee babe, ouch!

(Sitting here with my foot still bandaged after op last week - so I can sympathise).

The crate looks a good size - so the bed/food/tray aren't literally on top of each other.
