My cat had her annual check up today. I've had her for just on a year now. She has taken a long time to warm up and relax. Unfortunately today I think she lost a bit of trust in me. She saw the cage and just knew what was coming. It was an experience getting her in the cage.
And the hisses she gave the vet during a clip of her nails were impressive! This was after the vaccination and general checkup of spine, joints, eyes, ears and belly so I guess she just had had enough. Totally understand.
So after some alone time she will now come to me for scritches but not close enough where I could pick her up. And her side eye game is impressive.
Ah well.. Three steps forward; 1 step back. I'll take it.
This is Mavis.
I have cats that were literally born into my hands do the same thing, let her be pissed. She'll get over it
