Feline protests

[MattH]

I've just put our cat into the cat carrier because we're about to leave for a checkup at the veterinarian's office.  Now I am hearing feline protests; she does not like being in the cat carrier or going to the vet and she makes that very clear.

All was OK, we're back home.  As usual it took three people to trim her claws: two to hold her and one to use the clippers.

My cat also hates the carrier. She knows that it means that she's headed off for a ride in the car to the Thermometer Lady. (This is the family term for veterinarian, whether male or female.)

She's actually pretty good-natured once she gets there, as long as she doesn't have to look at dogs. She purrs through her vaccinations. I think it's the car ride more than anything else. And the thermometer, of course.

Matt, are you sure you don't have my cat? lol My cat gets crazy when I take her to the vet. She will scratch everyone up. She hates the carrier. I can always expect her to either throw up, poop or both on the way to the vet. Of course, it used to take 40 min to get there.

Now that I've moved maybe that will change since the vet is right around the corner practically.

Humm, reminds me of the time we tried to take the cat in because he wasn't urinating, was afraid he had the crystal thing in his urine.  Once we got him in the car it was rather evident he didn't have the problem...all over everything.   Appointment was cancelled.

ROFL, mine too..........When i take them in the car, the growling sounds like a big cat in the zoo or the wild.

I have 2 manx cats, Babygirl-female of course black no tail is 3 1/2 yrs old and about 11lbs 

Littlebit male russian blue, stumpy tail  is 11yrs old and 17 1/2 lbs

Now Littlebit is smart he can sit on command ,shake paws and wag tail.....ok stump 

DH use to feed the cats, he said they were hungry. I worry about Littlebit being overweight so I feed them now.

When I drove from North Carolina to San Antonio, Texas, my cat meowwed over and over again, literally for eighteen hours........

Wow Light,

Those are some cool cats.  Mine is just a regular ASH.  And Yes I'm guilty of feeding him too much.  But I learned.  I found that smaller meals more often works for him.  He's lost almost 2 pounds since the new diet.  He was lookin a bit chunky so I thought it would do him good.  Put him on the scale and he turned a whopping 23 pounds.  Wow.
