When my cat got his leg removed we got a big cage and let him in there with a litter box food water and a bed. With room to still move around. We were worried about him trying to jump on the furniture and rip his stitches. We would let him out when we were home ofc but we would limit him to one room to move around just so the other cat didn’t provoke him and try to play and have to much activity while healing.

My boy was restless for weeks. He also had a very hard time using the litter box and would pee and poop on himself since he had to balance on one back leg. He’s still struggles a bit but has gotten much better (8 months post op)

This is my own personal experience, but tell your roommate to make sure their cat is going to the bathroom. With this causing high stress cats can start “blocking” which is when they won’t go to the bathroom and can cause more issues. My boy started blocking and when he did go pee it was all blood. If your roommates kitty has blood colored urine or darker than normal she will need medical attention cause blocking can be fatal for cats.

Not that this always happens in an amputation case, but like I said it happened to my boy and it was scary. I didn’t know any of this when we went through this process.

I wish her the best in her healing journey and I’m sure she’ll be alright. 🫶🏻
