The worst experience for every young (or even older) human is when one has to go to the doctor for whatever reason. It is a really awful experience when perceived as a kid. This cat embodies that feeling quite well, and beautifully so.
Another cat owner shared their own story in the replies. Wow, these cats really dread the vet visit, huh? That’s something relatable.
Some suggest to the original poster that putting the cat on a carrier is better, but unfortunately the owner had already tried that. Cats can be rather stubborn and picky. Some cats even go against what their peers tend to enjoy.
Of course, there are limitations to when owners should accommodate this behavior, as sometimes it can be to the cat’s detriment. Remember, even if you or your kid don’t go to the hospital, your condition won’t get better.
