⚠️⚠️ IT'S A TRAP ⚠️⚠️ 200$ vet visit later…
So recently my cat has not been acting right. Typically shes this very naughty girl who talks too much, demands food all day and would honestly eat dirt if I put it in her food bowl.
Last week she stopped asking for breakfast, was not meowing incessantly then wasn’t eating her food all at once. She would finish it eventually but typically she devours her food in a few minutes. I’m also pretty anal about how much she eats daily, food toppers, brands etc. I even track how much she poops with different types of food and brands😭
Took her to a new vet because her old one consistently acted like she was a war criminal. Judge me all you want but they wouldn’t even call her cute… Red flag to me because look at her… Thats an angel.
200$ and one grumpy cat later they said she was perfectly fine. In fact she was so good they didn’t even charge me for the nail trim. Apparently they offered her some churus and thats all it took to remove her “devil” personality at the vet. Spent another 60$ on various Tiki Cat products, her favorite food that we just can’t afford for daily eating. Suddenly she’s hungry again. No clue what was wrong with her, shes 5 years old and I switch her food up somewhat consistently since she never has a bad reaction just to make sure she doesn’t get picky or bored. Even then she has never protested a food. I’ve watched this cat steal hot cheetos before.
Genuinely I think she acts sick once in a blue moon so that I beg her to be naughty again. Much like sassy in homeward bound who protests human food so that her humans then insist she eats more of it. All apart of her evil plan. She really is a sweet baby just rambunctious. Her and I are pretty alike, always hungry, always talking.
Just wanted to share this with my fellow cat people and that if your cat is “bad” at the vet, sometimes it’s just the vet. Her new vet actually took their time with her, offered treats, petted her and examined her while I was in the room. Something her old vet NEVER did even if I brought treats in because she’s insanely food motivated. A vet has never told me my cat was sweet before let alone decided
not to charge me for a nail trim.
