One boy, one girl, about four months old. When I separate them they cry and cry. Tried putting them in separate rooms-- they cry. Tried putting them in their carriers, they cry and meow. When I let them out, they want to wrestle each other, even though they are sore, especially the girl (who has stitches). It's dangerous for them to wrestle, but it's hard listening to them cry. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on what to do? Thanks.

well if they are being that rough then I'd keep them seperate for a day then just let them work it out. If one of them wants to stop they'll let the other know with it claws if necessary.
You'll just have to toughen up and try to ignore their crying, i know I did when I got my girl spayed and she wanted to play.
Nice hair btw :D

Two things they miss each when apart and are crying for each other. Cats also do not like being penned up. You are going to have to buy yourself so ear plugs because they are going to cry as for several days at least when you separate them, and they can hear each other.
As far as stopping them from wrestling, they are kittens so you can forget that, they are going to wrestle and play.

Try putting the carriers together so they can see each other. Also, give them treats and new toys to play with.
Put the carriers outside so they can watch birds.
Try playing the radio for them.
I think you will have to just let them cry. It's not worth infection for the female.
Good luck,

You should ask the vet. The vet will tell you whether or not to let them wrestle. Some stitches are pretty tough and won't break as easily as others. Some stitches are delicate and will need to heal.

The trauma of surgery has compromised thier memories so these 'teenagers' are lost and confused.Try to remind them by reintroducing them to thier habitat-(toys,food and love). If they continue to behave badly towards each other try distracting them with whistles. The effects of annestisia can take a week or so to wear off. Be sure to feed and water carefully.

Its a tough one on one hand they could tear each other up on the other you don't want them to hurt each other. The best thing you could do is seperate them for the 1st two days and then bring them together, they are like kids they want to play, but they will know when it will get to much and they will stop.

The collars are a precaution from biting and pulling out the stitches. attempt taking the collars off and observer their habit. some cats will lick the stitches a touch yet not chew them. The time the collars are off must be supervised by you. If any signs and indications of pulling or biting takes position, placed the collars decrease back on their necks. some cats by no potential complication the stitches, attempt it for your cats. you've gotten this style of cats that by no potential contact the stitches.

Maybe they should just wear "elizabethan" collars, the big cone-shaped ones that don't let them harm their stitches, and then let them play together. I suppose the collars will also prevent them from hurting each other if they bump between them.

Let them be together, they will know when they've had too much wrestling. It'd be a comfort to them.
