Hi, Vermontcat! I have Debra, my Holstein Moo-cow blk./wht. "brat" cat (see her in flashing avatar) and she, too, behaves like a feral when taken to the vet; just about climbing up the walls! The last visit she nearly reached the top of the vet tech's head with her petulance. She is terribly strong and athletic, and can whirl around on her cat tree like a gymnast.

She demands her undivided attention session. and she wants it immediately, if not sooner. This has become increasingly an issue, since the recent addition of Schuyler (wht.) has made her insecure and uneasy. He is such a good-natured, placid, tolerant guy and he only wants to join in and be accepted. Debra will have nothing to do with him, and I feel badly for my "swell guy Schuy". I had so hoped he would be accepted by her and they could become playmates.

She eats (or I should say picks) at her dry premium food like a bird, and has refused ALL brands of wet food, even going through the motions of "covering" it up as though it were excrement. Funny thing is, she will NOT bother to cover her litter box deposits AT ALL!

Still I love her to pieces, and she is my little cowgirl!
