I would just make sure you fast him for the procedure. Pick up any food after 10pm on Friday night. Male cats do typically well and they usually do fine. Just monitor for licking the area and any swelling or discharge but again they typically do very well. If he does lick at the area after the procedure I would just call your veterinarian. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
