I don't know if anyone can help me but I have a VERY fresh little
pussy. She is so naughty when we go for our yearly visit to the
vet. She spits at the doctor and the nurse, screems and once even
threatened to bite them. As a result, she has to be tranquilized
in order for the doctor to just examine her!! My other kitty, Marvin
is just the opposite, he waits very patiently for the doctor to
finish his business. However, when I bring Marvin home, Jackie,
the one who hates the vet, goes crazy! She spits at Marvin and
hides, sometimes for a couple of days.
Whats a mother to do??

Part two seems obvious - she recognizes the 'vet smell' on Marvin,
and reacts accordingly. As for part one...have you considered a
gun, whip and chair?

Well, if this only happens at the vet, I'd let the vet worry about
it. Honey hates men-vets, but tolerates woment-vets very well (a
case we re-affirmed this morning). After all, how can you love
someone who's gonna scrape your teeth with a sharp instrument, stick
a thermometer where God never intended for one to go, and then top
it all off with a couple needles?? It is a tad embarrassing, though
("Gee, Dr. Kaas, Honey never rips my arm off at home....").

Brat reacts just as badly to the vet. The vet, unfortunately, seems
rather scared of Brat (not that I blame him). What I do is take
Brat in for his yearly sometime in December. Then, while wearing
heavy winter coat and heavy gloves, I haul the cat out of the carrier,
I hold him down on the examining table, and the vet does his thing.
Of course, this is all accompanied by a lot of hissing, growling,
and wailing. The vet won't go near my little sweatheart unless
I'm holding him (the cat nearly ripped his face off last time),
and I prefer to not have Brat tranquilized just for an examination.
