Appalled!

Well I suppose if you are going to get a NAWTEEKAT sticker on your file you may as well do the full performance!!

Scrtichies to Bastet

[BastetsMum]

After feeling so bad about it all I just rang the vet's to see how he and the vet tech both are. He had to go get a cat scratch fever shot and the claw pulled out by the doctors from his leg and he lost his favourite pair of pants but he said its ok he has had worse and that he is keeping the claw in a little jar to remind him next time to wear full padded gear when dealing with Bastet

I told him how bad I felt and he said not to worry he has had the sweetest animals come in and turn into raving loonies in seconds. He said he has more dog bites than cat damage although he said I should consider sedating her with some rescue remedy to make her a little calmer next year.

I'm sorry to hear that Bastet was such an aggressive cat at the vets. Luckily none of my cats act like this. Storm and Sunny will let the vet do anything to them because they're so scared. Sky actually enjoys going to the vets because he gets so much attention. Cirrus has to be sedated because he's semi-feral and just too scared of strangers. Hopefully you won't have to go back until next year.

And I tell you, if Filou behaved like this at the vet's I would have a bad conscience because I do it to him

He is not that bad but he and Tigris yowl all way in the car (which breaks my heart) and tell me what an abusive meowmie I am. They would congratulate Bastet for showing them.....

Oh dear, Bastet, you nawtee girl! You embarrassed your poor Meowmie, you won't be getting any treats over the next couple of days I'm sure!

I was like Jen and thought maybe the vet did something wrong - but it was only Bastet acting up, whew! 'Course that's easy for me to say, because I wasn't there and because my two aren't a problem at the vet.

And yes, if they would only understand that we're only doing for their own good, and it hurts us more than them....but alas, they are only doing what comes natural to them and that is to try and protect themselves from the evil vet person.

Hugs to you and Bastet for having such a trying time of it. Oh, and maybe next year the vet will conveniently forget to call and remind you Bastet's shots are due.

I feel your anguish and I can totally relate to that experience. My RB Tobias was the worst cat I have ever had to take to the vets. I remember one time, he was scheduled to see a vet that I did not have any experience with (my vet was on vacation) and this poor woman. I explained to her that I had to scruff him and almost sit on him the last time he received shots...well she did not listen, he ended up going up one side of her and right down the other. She looked like she had highway lines up her arms. Well, she can not say that I didn't warn her.

My little Rocca hates the Vet , hates travelling , and is not all that sure about me. But Dr . Humble stopped her because once she turns into The Tasmanian Kitty , there is no stopping her! she had $700 worth of dental work , and now they have to get her back into the Carrier!I hope they have bandages!

What an ordeal, but thank God it's over now, hope all the wounds are healing nicely!

I'm amazed how calm Fister is at the vet, considering how he yowls on the in the car. We have bought the strongest possible box for him, but the effort he's making to get out during the car ride has us rather worried that one day he'll succedd. We put a leather strap around the box, but he gives it good go at the ventilation holes on the sides and claws are scattered around in the box on arrival. Last time, we tried putting a blanket over, but it didn't seem to help much.

In spite of being so naughty, I think he deserves a few treats.
