All three of my cats are very good at the vet's office. I have had, in the past, absolute monster cats at the vet's. I think it has to do with luck. I don't have a clue as to how to "turn it around" once you find the bad luck.

My cats love my vet and her staff. I suspect cats like female vets better, but not sure. My cats relax on the table, often trying to get as many pets and headbutts as possible. Once the exam begins it is a bit different and then when the process is over, they hop into their containers, happy to go home.

Maybe a little kitty prozac before hand might help.
