How do your kittens react at the vet? Are they semi calm or pretty aggressive?

Answer 1

My male cat, Scooter, hates going to the vet. When we get there, I have to pour him out of his little carrier, and then he tries to hang on to the inside so he won't slide out. When I finally get him out, he growls at the vet the whole time. My little female, Daisy, is very sweet. She does get nervous while she's there, but no aggressive behavior at all. They are both always very glad to get back home!

Answer 2

All three of my kittens were great at the vet. It wasn't a shock for two of them, because they've both always been calm (they're brother and sister and really do well when they're together). but the diva of the house, my older kitten Sasha, she was also surprisingly good at the vets. She tends to be a bit clawy and she likes to bite when she doesn't like something, but she actually let the vet hold her and didn't mind.

I think that as long as the vet is calm (and they should be, of course), then the kittens will be completely fine, especially if you hold them and speak softly to them, so they know that everything is okay. I haven't heard of any aggressive kittens at the vet.

Answer 3

Six of my seven cats are fine with the vet. I guess they know that Mama wouldn't take them if it were bad for them. They roll around on the table and chew on the stethoscope and such. My big boy cat, Bonzo Beenz, who is normally a big ole teddy bear, goes berserk when he senses that I've even THOUGHT about taking him in. I have to drag him out from under the bed or wherever, force him into the carrier, then I do all the holding once there. He once climbed the vet assistant and bloodied her arms as he vaulted off her trying to get away. He's never been mistreated at the vet and only goes in for yearly shots. Don't know why he gets the "Vet Freaks" but he actually becomes quite violent about it. Poor Beezo Beenz.

Answer 4

Kittens are usually fine. i work at a vet clinic, and they see it as a new adventure with lots of stuff they can get into. But once something happens that they dont like, such as a blood draw, or vaccine, after a few visits they HATE it. Usually by the time they are adult cats they just cower and growl, just because they anticipate what is going to happen, they are pretty smart. But sometimes we get cats that come in and are as sweet as can be, and just purr and rub up on you, no matter what you do. I think it depends on the cat, and it's own tolerance level.

Answer 5

Depending on the reason my cat is going to the vet. He has been to the vet and he has been semi-calm, but he had an ear infection once and the vet was poking in my cat's ear and when I picked my cat up he bit me in the hand.

Answer 6

None of my cats like to go to the vet. They are scared and will cry the entire way. Of the three, the young female is the closest to relatively calm. And the older female is very high-strung.

Answer 7

She will possibly no longer have been abandoned, that's barely coming to the top of kittening season so there are a number of feral kittens that are actually waiting to go away their mum. she would be able to be very excitable at that age and that they are very perplexing to shelter. I actual have hand reared some wild kittens in my time and that i hit upon that those kittens are much less afraid as they have been left to fend for themselves at an rather youthful age, they then tutor no concern whilst it is composed of latest circumstances. the terrific component to do is to close her off to one room in the process the night, she would be able to then learn that this his her territory and as she gets older will learn how to locate it a convenience (do no longer use this area as a disipline exercising), seem out for signs and indicators that tutor she is approximately to pounce and be waiting to divert her interest. do no longer tutor any reaction whilst she does claw or chew you as this might then make it sense like a interest to her.

Answer 8

My cats freak out on the way to the vet. Then as soon as they're on teh table they don't move or make a sound. It's a little bit baffeling.

Answer 9

My older cats are pretty ok with it but my kitten attacks them everytime. I really don't think there is a cure, just try to make them calm when they have to go and don't make them nervous, cause they can tell if you are tense. :)

Answer 10

Well, my cat isn't too bad now but, there was a time when the vet had great big CAUTION signs all over his chart in red does that answer your question?
