Awwwwww!!! Poor Edwina!! What a traumatic experience for all of you! **hugs**
Marius is all in a scramble worried about her! Lots of headbumpies are coming her way.

On another note, I can totally relate to the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde act that our Scooter puts on. Well, most of you know that Scooter isn't really the most purrrsonable cat. He's a daddy's boy for sure...but he's really not that bad here at home. He's just downright lovey with Aaron (nobody else though! LOL). But, as soon as you get him at the VET he turns into a frizzy, hissing, spitting, furball of rage!! It's almost embarassing, and we always say that he's not like that at home...really! I don't think they believe us though. It's kind of annoying that they have to sedate Scooter....just for a routine checkup!! This usually involves a cat, a net, and a syringe with some sort of calming drug! Since nobody can get near him, they have to 'net him' then they stick him in the butt with the syringe!! Poor guy. He's just really scared out of his element.
On another note...there was this time when I was living in Cincinnati, and Scooter was having UTI problems so I took him to the vet. Since I was new to the area, I just went to the nearest one to our apartment. Well, I tell you what...the lady there just made me so mad. First, she didn't handle herself as a professional at all. I guess I should have deducted this when I first walked in. The place wasn't that clean, and there were two huge collie dogs sleeping on the floor. You should have seen the mounds of fur lying all around!
Anyway, usually a vet talks soothing to animals and seems like a real animal lover. This lady did not. Of course Scooter acted like his 'normal' VET self and she told me 'Hold the cat!' Uh...ok...she was more afraid of herself getting hurt than me or my cat! I was annoyed, but attempted to comply. Then, she tried to muzzle him...which wasn't pretty. I could tell she was irritated and she said, 'well, I'm sorry I can't do anything since I can't get near him'. OK THEN!! Every other vet handled it in a much better manner. Anyway, she called another local vet and I heard her say, "I have a lady with a real mean cat...."
I was just fuming by then and almost in tears at this point. I gratefully got out of there and went to the other vet. They were SO MUCH better about everything and handled it quite nicely. I just couldn't believe the audacity of this woman!! So bad!!!
