I completely understand why you're worried. It's not uncommon for cats to seem a bit off after surgery, and sleep disturbance can be one of the things you notice. Anesthesia and pain medications used during surgery can sometimes make your cat more restless or anxious, which might affect their sleep. Additionally, your cat might be feeling some discomfort, especially if it's within the first couple of days post-surgery.
At home, you can help by ensuring your cat has a quiet, cozy space to rest away from household noise and activity. Make sure their area is warm and comfortable to encourage them to relax. Limiting your cat's physical activity and handling can also help them feel more secure. If your cat was given pain medications, it’s important to follow your vet's instructions on dosage to help manage any discomfort.
Keep an eye out for signs that would warrant a closer look: persistent vomiting, diarrhea, a lack of appetite, excessive swelling or redness at the surgery site, or if your cat seems to be in severe pain. If these or other worrisome signs appear, it’s best to contact a vet.
For personalized advice and peace of mind, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. This way, we can discuss your cat’s specific situation and make sure they're on the right track to recovery.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
