My sweet baby will be 8-ish months old next month and we have him scheduled to be neutered. Despite having cats for years, I haven't ever had a kitten neutered while in my care (they have been neutered prior to my owning of them or have all been girls lol) and I'm a bit scared.
He's wild and funny but so sassy (his biting has gotten less, though!!) - any personality changes to watch for? Also, any tips or advice on how to properly care for him afterwards?
I love him dearly and don't want to cause any upsetting feelings for him after such a surgery.
Thank you greatly!!!

Hi everyone! sorry if this is the wrong subreddit! I [27F] grew up believing you only get one love of your life, hence it being "of your life." I was convinced my ex [29M] was that. I vividly remember how we fell in love and how fast, as well as wanting to be partners til the end. However, it ended.
I have a new partner [29M] who is great. He treats me so well and emotionally is available (my friends all joke if he has a twin) and I do love him. I just can't shake the feeling my ex will always be the love of my life? Is this wrong? Does love fade away, like some of my friends have suggested?
I'll freely admit I've never loved someone like my ex, and even with my current partner I struggle with reminding myself I do love him... I will say I was unmedicated for my personality disorder in my last relationship. Sorry if this is a mess, I just feel so conflicted.
I wouldn't leave my current partner for anyone, if that helps. He really is a gem and honestly one of the best people I know, which is why I feel extra crummy about this. I want him to be the love of my life, I just... Don't feel it. I do love him, but it feels more like a quiet type of emotion and nothing strong. I'm used to strong, fast feelings so please help😿I just want to be able to express the same love my current partner expresses

Hi all. For context, I live on a farm. Just today, I saved a kitten who was very cold and just born. Its mother abandoned it as she is a first time mom and isn't producing milk. I gave it to another one of our mother cat, who had a kitten around the same age and she took it gracefully.
About fifteen minutes ago, I saw our dog had gotten through the gated fence... And the mother cat and two babies have now passed. This dog has had a high prey drive and we've had concerns before (as we have lambs and chickens) but I think this is the final straw.
I'm just so heartbroken, these babies were so little and I won't be able to get rid of the image of our dog attacking the kitten.
I have three indoor cats, one of whom is from the mother who just passed and I can't stop crying. I don't know what I'd do without them. I know farm life can be tough, but we've never had a dog do this. I'm just so saddened and upset. I know my mother, who adopted this dog, is also hurting but she doesn't know if we should rehome her or what the best solution is.
TLDR: Our dog killed two kittens and a mother cat and I can't stop crying about it
