Kitty crazy after neuter

Yesterday out 5 mo old kitty was neutered. He is acting fine except he’s now playing in the water bowl and gets himself soaked and spreads water all over. Can’t leave the bowl down for the other cat and the dog. How can we stop this??

    Wait about a month and your cat will be back to normal. It takes awhile for the hormone levels to be reduced. He is probably uncomfortable and will be doing some odd things for awhile.

    It’s not hormone level. He didn’t do this til after surgery. I think they over medicated him and he’s high.

    It can take days to completely eliminate the med given. It's unusual to have lasting effects from the commonly used anesthetics. I'd give it a few more days before taking further action.

    BTW, there are hormone levels that are reduced after a neuter, but I've never seen this type of behavior reported.
