I brought my cat in recently for his annual exam and shots. Taking him to the vet has always been a fight, he hides under the bed when I get the cat box out and it takes all 3 off us to stuff him in it, then he screams for the whole car ride. This is why I decided to take him to a cat only vet, thinking it would be less traumatizing for him. Although he is still not a fan of the vet, visits go much more smoothly at the Cat Clinic. The nurses are always very friendly and give him lots of love to help calm his nerves. He didnt want to come out of his box so the nurse took the top of the box off, this allowed him to still feel safe in his bed, but gave them acess to him for his check up. He does much better this way! A trick I never would have though of - they really do know cats! Now we leave the vet feeling far more relaxed, knowing we are both in safe hand.
