My cat was spayed today. Where should she stay overnight & use litter?

Question

Our cat got spayed today. Should she be kept in her crate over night? Or should we let her in the bathroom (vacuumed but not scrubed, I'm worried if she could contract an infection?) so that she can use her litter box? Also is it safe to use her litter box?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, she can absolutely use her litter box. It is ok for her to be in the bathroom. However, it is important to consider using an e-collar if she is going to be left unattended to try to prevent her from licking at the incision and causing an infection or opening her incision. You can buy an e-collar from your veterinarian or at your local pet store. Good luck and have a great day!
