At 3 a.m. I realized that my kitty is somewhere in the house hiding. I don't want to wake my dad by searching his room. What are the chances she's able to take out her stitches? I put smelly gel on them.

I have never known a cat to do that, joy, so I don't think you have to worry. She is just ultra sensitive to all of that handling I guess. She will come out when she is hungry and thirsty.

Tick.. you are right! Here she is just a minute ago, safe and sound.

Good, now you two can snuggle and have a nap !
