How to care for my kitten after neutering and ease discomfort?

Question

I have been reading about the long term effects of inadequate pain management during neutering procedures and one thing that stood out was that some cats will remember the procedure and associate hands with the traumatic event. How do I help my kitten when it comes home tomorrow? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 4 lbs

You can ask your vet for pain medications for Powder, and give them as directed. I personally have not run across a cat that has associated hands with a traumatic event, and do not believe it is common at all. The cats I have neutered, including my own, don't remember the procedure. Keep him quiet, give him pain medications, and keep him warm. I hope this helps!
