Oh boy, could I ever tell you stories! I guess the best story is of my RB calico queen Puddy. The vet staff had written on her chart in big red letters NOT PEOPLE FRIENDLY! Puddy was normally a cool cat. If you let her alone, she let you alone. At the vet's, however, she became 5 lbs. of pure terror. When I'd arrive at the clinic, I'd hear someone yell from the back "We're ready for Puddy now!" and I pictured them all wearing head gear and face protection. My old vet, since retired, bent down to listen to her heart and she slapped his glasses right off his face and onto the floor. In her younger days, we'd have to take the top off the cat carrier and drop a towel over her in order to be able to pick her up and examine her because you didn't dare put your hands inside the carrier.
My CH baby, Creamsicle, who is also deaf, is bad, too, although not as bad as Puddy. She was a little Tasmanian devil a couple of days ago when she went in for her checkup. To look at her, you'd never know she could behave that way. She has such a sweet temperament but she knows that when she's at the vet's there's probably going to be a needle involved.
So. Does that answer your question? LOL
