There seems to be a very response when it comes to this. And I'd obviously phone my vet but it's Sunday, the one day they aren't open! Ok so my tabby Tilly is due in to be neutered first thing tomorrow morning and as per usual bang on cue she goes into season! Literally the last litter over kittens aren't even away a week and that was her second! I'm not so much concerned about having kittens but her health, she's such a small thing and after the last litter she looked terrifying! She's only three. I read all the time that vets won't neuter if they are in season, I also read all th time that they will and this is just a myth.  It might be more bloody and cost a little more which is fine as long as they can guarentee her health (relative)

For anyone thinking just keep her in for a week and get it done then, I wish and can't take the risk. Two seasons two litters. Short of locking her in a room which I won't do she always always manages to get out the little strumpet. I stay in a three story house and she's found secret way out I've yet to discover. Pesky cats! I love them (I have two) deep deep down. So has anyone had any personal experience. 

Thanks!

 
Update for anyone in the same predicament. No they will not or at least my vet will not. It's a cleaner, faster and safer operation when they aren't in heat. Less blood to deal with so they can see and to replace as she'll lose more which is then a health risk. They can obviously replace the lost blood quickly but that's not free so the price on the procedure also doubles. I always say you can't 

it a price on your pets life (I have two rescue cats and a labradoodle) but her health isn't in any immediate danger other than me hosing her down to stop that mating call! ...And to cool her lyons of course ?

 
@Hammerblow That call is truly something isn't it!!!  We have a neighbor that refuses to have her female cat spayed and she has a litter of kittens each time she's able to mate. It is irresponsible as a pet owner and I feel terrible for the cat. The three cats we've rescued have all been males and we've had them neutered as soon as we were able to avoid being "fur grandparents" :P . Now I'm waiting on my husband to say the word so we can have our pit's manhood removed, poor fella!!  I hope you're able to keep your girl locked away safely and your sanity intact until she can get back to the vet!!

 
@JenG. she's successfully been locked away without any escaping. I've actually felt really sorry for her as the weather over here has been beautiful, we don't get to say that often! The neighbourhood bike has three hours before I drop her off at the vets. I will worry sick about her though! 

If if you think she's something I could start telling you about our other wee rescue penny. She's a Ragdoll breed and is more precious (in her mind) than your grannies pearls. Going outside is beneath her, liking most people is beneath her and is the loudest cat ice ever owned. Her little piece is to walk into a room, announce herself 'l'm here! Look how beautiful I am' couple of twirls then walks straight back out. She is absolutely gorgeous though...I'll give her that. 

 
@Hammerblow I love her already! I'm more of a cat lover than dogs. All three of mine are spoiled rotten, the last one we rescued is a lilac Siamese and literally sleeps on my head at night. I have to constantly scoot him over and he'll only drink water from the tap. A clean, cold bowl of water is not good enough for him. My other boy is a Russian gray, he is mostly outside, not by my choice, but he's a hunter and sits under my neighbor's bird feeder to wait on his prey, luckily she stopped filling it with seed so there's not as many casualties. He's a lover too. And my old lady is grumpy and cantankerous and tolerates us, but loves my youngest son. My husband tells me I'm a collector of cats and kids (sounds creepy, but he only means that because our house is the hangout for all of our kids friends. Even when they aren't home!!)

 
@JenG. they all sound like they have they're own special little characters. I want to be a collector of cats and I also want that t-shirt that says "cat hair is just lonely people glitter" I'm not lonely I just think it's funny and I am 99.999999999% of the time covered in cat hair.

  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
