Before the visit…
This is real meme material.
Everyone tells me similar experience with taking cat to a vet. For me, vet is actually the lightest part, but the transport and putting cat into a case is a nightmare, no matter where we go.
She was OK going in the carrier, but man, after the vet she wanted OOOOWWWWWTTTTTT!
A way of getting a cat into a carrier I’ve found is, wrap the cat in a blanket and then have someone else go get the carrier, so they don’t know what’s happening until it is too late
I tip the carrier on end, open the door, and let gravity do the work. :)
Thats what Ive been doing, but my cats big and her claws catch on everything.
Same. Once at the vet, shes chilled out, if a bit scared. She mostly tries to hide or get off the vet’s table. But getting her in the carrier in the first place, goddamn. I hate it. She puts up such a fight.
She seems so well behaved in the before picture.
Getting my cat in her carrier is a nightmare. Shes kinda big and gets frightened really easily. Shell be yowling murder as soon as I manage to put her in the carrier. I used to be able to trick her to get in on her own with treats, but she wised up and snatches the treat and runs out… so I have to pick her up and drop her in, which only makes her more angry.
Try rolling her up in a blanket and put her in head first. We use this on our big boy, and ut works like a charm. Sure, he’s mad and yells about it, but once he’s in he relaxes.
So dramatic
The duality of nyan
Ours cry on the way to the doctors office but is completely calm once we are there and on the way back.
He was returned back to the adoption center a few times. I wonder if he’s traumatized from that and is afraid he’s getting out up for adoption again but he’s calm once he realizes he’s not.
duality of cat
I moved and took my cat to a new vet near my new house. That vet was not great with him, kind of rough, and we could hear dogs barking constantly, so he was already stressed before the vet even started.
I’ve never seen that cat so upset. But I got him home, he left the carrier, went a few steps, and flopped on his side, and I knew all was forgiven.
I never took him back to that vet - I ended up taking him to the previous vet instead. Much longer drive but they were already familiar with him and his issues, and were much better with him, so it was worth it.
When we adopted another cat, we started using a different vet local to us that we still use (the first cat passed away years ago).
First image looks like a possum lol
Nice opossum
I’m very lucky chubby cat accepts all her fates with quiet confusion, including being placed into a carrier and being at the vet.
Her brain just lags so much by the time she’s processed the indignity she’s onto something else she must now process quietly.
The Greenies treats made all the difference.
She actually did not go for the treats, I think they’re still in the carrier…
I demand you to give her a good belly / butt pat afterward
She’s doing much better this morning:
Such a lazy fur ball! she looks happy
She has all the love and is much happier not being contained. ;)
Just saw both your posts separated by another unrelated post and thought I found a glitch in the matrix when she showed up again
