Harry - proud moment

[PinkSparklyPussyCat]

Harry went to the vets for his vaccinations yesterday and seemed to make a very good impression! I was allowed in the building for the first time since lockdown and when I carried in him in the receptionist looked in his basket and said 'He's gorgeous, isn't he beautiful?!'

He was taken in for his jabs and the nurse came out to tell me he'd fallen asleep on the table while she rubbed his chin! As she went back in she said 'he's lovely, I love him!'

Awww! 💙💙

Aww well done Harry! Better than being remembered for being a hissing spitting ball of fur!

He is gorgeous.

Good boy Harry! I thought he hated the vet?

Of course he’s lovely! We all knew that.

He goes limp when he goes to the vet @YetAnotherSpartacus. Apparently the notes from his previous vets say he's 'fractious' but that might have something to do with them trying to put the cone of shame on him! Apparently he ripped it off himself...

One of mine needs a muzzle - oh how I laughed and then regretted it once I got him home...
another one likes to poo on the vets table.

3 of them are going for jabs this Thursday, I’m fully expecting to be told to find another vets!

LMAO at the thought of being expelled from the vets

This time I’m putting them in three cat boxes. (They are kittens and like to be together)
I’m hoping they aren’t so cocky if they are split up......
I’ve paid up front for the vaccinations so fingers crossed I don’t get an asbo or three!!

We used to go to the vet school general practice clinic with our cats. One of them had “students must not attempt to examine” written in red on her notes. The professor of feline medicine, on the other hand, could do anything to her, up to and including taking blood and blood pressure measurement on her tail. She is a total cat whisperer, she just murmurs to them and they are putty in her hands. All the other vets took mean cat “through the back” for treatment, presumably where extreme restraint could be applied!

On his first vets visit. My parents boy, explored the room, tried to drink the vets tea and then gave him a nasty scratch!

When we took my Mum's cat George to the vets he jumped out of the carrier and hid under the desk among the computer cables. They had to take desk and computers apart to get him.

That was when we actually got him there. We had to cancel the first appointment as he kicked the door off the basket and I had blood running down my arm!

I have been on holiday with gouges out of my stomach from catching nasty cat and unwisely holding her claws inwards. I’m also well acquainted with the vet school’s protocol on “What to do when your patient’s owner is bleeding”. Apparently that is not to just believe them when they say “don’t worry, this happens all the time”!
Nasty cat had radio iodine treatment for her thyroid, two weeks in the vet hospital, the vet nurse said she was the only cat that never warmed to her at all and mauled her when she put her in the carrier to come home. They only knew she was alive in her isolation enclosure from the hissing coming out of the igloo. A friend who looked after her a few time strongly believed she was actually a highland wild cat.
In her later years she was very senile and a total lap fungus.
