PuffinCat got told off by the vet

[Puffinsnamechange]

... for being nosey . Vet's assessment was spot on, she's always sniffling things like the dogs she proclaims to hate. Unfortunately he got hissing for thanks...

What exactly was PuffinCat told off for being nosy over?

She was sniffing everything on the treatment table and the vet himself. She does neither cats nor dogs particularly well, so she might have been offended at the smells, but usually she's really docile at the vet's.

Sounds like perfectly normal cat behaviour to me :). The vet is lucky she wasn't batting items to the floor.

Ollie does this look of "oh please god save me" then sinks to the bottom of his carrier like he's liquid with a pained face completely shuts down

My girl does the same thing as Ollie! She's really not a people cat though. I'm trying to find a new carrier that I can get a solid cat into and the vet can get a liquid cat out!

My old girl cat had a black mark against her records. When we went to the vets, the vet would say 'Oh. It's YOU' .

That sounds like pretty good behaviour for a cat!

My little girl used to climb all over the keyboard and get in amongst any equipment that was in the room.

My boy gets back in his carrier asap - it's one with a lid that lifts off so we can get him out, but he just sits in the base and pretends no one else exists.

AntisocialCat tends to yowl loudly and go liqufied when at the vests (or try to leap to freedom!). She hates other people, not just the vet very lovely and affectionate at home to us all though

My two turn into limp furry blobs at the vets. My parents cat tries to drink the vets tea.

They also climb straight back in their boxes.

Purrlock has to be dragged out of his carrier - as he weighs over a stone and is bloody strong, it takes some doing

Layla is a fearless little thing and bounds out and smells everything. But as soon as the vet picks her up to examine her, she panics, squeaks and sticks her claws into the nearest surface!

Living- I have this carrier and it's fab. The top opens right up. The cat loves it and she looks like she's in a space pod inside. It is big though. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002RLE13M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_e57Azb94FJP7B?tag=mumsnetforum-21

The Snowshoe's heart murmur investigations under sedation were given up on because he drew blood from everyone in the room before they could get properly started .

You know when you get the call from school which starts "we have a problem ...", Well we got that from the vet . He never did consent to the damn procedure.

That reminds me, I need to take mine in on Tuesday for their boosters. Little M skips about, completely unfazed, whereas poor MCat turns into a jellyfish. I have to hold him round the middle, otherwise he too becomes a puddle.

The problem with puddle cats is they just shut down and lie there while the vet pops eye drops in. Then I say "I struggle doing them" and the vet looks like and I'm all "but he's not a puddle at home!!!!"

Rat . Sounds like my old girl! When she went into be spayed I had the call to pick her up. My Mum drove me and the plan was she would go in and get her and I would sit in the car ready. Except my Mum came out saying 'We can't pick her up'. I shrieked 'Whaddya mean . They told me she was ready'. My Mum repeated 'NO. We cannot pick her up! Literally. She's gone mental'. They had to put my dear girl cat in a crash cage . I had to go and get her - as soon as she heard my voice she started meowing pitifully and melted into my arms . She was my baby .

One of mine jumped under the desk in the vets room last time we went! Naughty cat. Vet was lovely though

Last time Purrlock went to the vet he peed on him

As in, he peed on the vet, not that the vet peed on Purrlock!

Stable cat I think has a huge black mark against her. After she ate about 50 paracetamol, the vet speculated that one is usually fatal for a cat. She shredded the vet and the vet nurses, ripped her drips out and wailed loudly. The result was "she's alive, we don't know why, please take her out of here"

dumbledore I've been looking at that one! Some of the reviews say the clips are difficult. Can you close the top easily? The one I've got at the minute is enormous too.

I was impressed with BogCats intelligence when he went for that op. When I dropped him off we went into treatment room, nurse removed him from carrier and did pre op checks, then put him back in to be taken off to do the deed.

Few days later we came back for post op checkup. BogCat quite happy to get out of his carrier, when check up finished he made it quite clear he didn't intend to go back in. He remembered what happened last time ...

I don't have trouble closing it normally but if the shoulder strap is attached it sometimes gets caught and stops it closing properly. I tend to leave the shoulder strap off until the cat is safely stowed anyway though. I think I can tell what the reviews mean because the clips have to line up but it isn't particularly fiddly. I've never had a problem.

Ah thanks. Will probably get that one then. Was having visions of it opening and her running off miles from home!

When mine went to the vet he was taken in to the only room they had that had a dark corner to escape into... the vet therefor said we had to keep him on the table .... it was like trying to hold on to a very wriggly fury snake!!! He was good as gold when it came to his injections however and then totally showed me up after I'd described the trauma of getting him into the cat carrier to get him here in the first place- the vet just said 'back in your box now' tapped him on the bum and he was in 😬
He did do the most pitiful yowl all the way home though..... he really doesn't like the carrier.
