A male cat doesn't have stiches these days, mine didn't they glued the wound. I was advised to keep him in for 3-4 days and then he would be fine to go out.
I took the vet's advice and kept him in a few days and he was fine.
my cat was advised to stay in but he made a run for it and that night he decided to climb up a tree and get stuck something he had never done before, we had to borrow a ladder and grab him it was quite funny especially after a few beers.
PS the cat was absoulutely fine!!
