Chestnut is the Jekyl and Hyde cat here. So sweet and cuddly at home. Guests who come regularly also get to pet him. (Strangers don't even see him, he is under the bed.)

At the vet, there is a big red CAUTION! on his file. They use long thick gloves which cover their arms. He growls, snarls, hisses, swats and BITES! And that is while he is still in the carrier! Once out of the carrier, he is 15 pounds of terror. Even I can't touch him.

We couldn't get a weight on him for 2 years as none of us could get him over to the scale!

Once they are done, we let him dash back into his carrier, where he immediately calms down and starts grooming his fur down and back into place. By the time I get him home, he is sweet orangie again.
