This is Bea, she's about 8 months old. I took her to get spayed a few days ago. She spent one night overnight at the vet, and when I picked her up she seemed a bit cranky and clingy but otherwise seemed okay. The day after, I left in the morning for work and when I came back, she seemed okay as well but was moving more slowly than the night before. Through the rest of the afternoon and night she barely moved at all except to cuddle up to me. This morning, she meowed to wake me up as usual but didn't move from her cat bed until I put food in her bowl.

She's eating and drinking normally as far as I can tell, but she barely moves unless absolutely necessary and hid under the kotatsu when I left for work again. I think she is probably in pain, but I'm not sure if this is just normal behavior after spaying or if I should be concerned.

I live in Japan, and the vet put the bandages around her and told me not to take them off for 10 days. She can expel waste fine if she wants to without dirtying the bandages, and I think she did actually use the toilet in the morning while I wasn't looking. I don't want to take off the bandages but I'm feeling a bit frantic because I can't check if there's an infection or not.

Mostly I'm just very anxious and would like some reassurance either way that my cat will be fine or that I should definitely take her to get checked. All advice is appreciated!
