My cat Cirrus is now known as "killer"at my vets. He's semi-feral and becomes a wild animal when I take him to the vets. I have to chase him into his carrier and he hisses and growls at me because he gets so scared. After he had his surgery, my vet was trying to give him some meds and he managed to get his e-collar off and he bit my vet on his upper inner thigh. The whole staff is very afraid of him so now he'll only be going to the vets if he's sick. I can't even pill him to sedate him and I've tried the cream stuff which didn't work. Good luck with Sophie.
