One of our cats that will turn vicious if it sees the cat carrier. She'll bite and scratch, making it impossible to get her to the vet.
Fortunately our vet will make house calls and our cat has no problem with being checked out or treated by the vet. But let her see the cat carrier and all bets are off.
Tuxies tend to be like that. I have one who, like that one, is both a tuxie and a tortie (and from her vocality and fur texture there has to be some Siamese in that woodpile). Very affectionate but nuttier than squirrel poo. She's my cat because I was outside preparing to do yard work and she literally climbed up me and meowed and trilled in my ear. (Sometimes, the cat says "Tag, you're it!" and you just have to go along.) Her name is Lindsey.
Also had a cat like that, though not a loving one. Miserable creature. We got him as a kitten and put him at the vet to get him snipped. When the vet office called to tell us it was done, they asked if we really wanted him back - that's how berserk he was. Beautiful cat, absolutely nuts. When our first child was born we had to get rid of it. He would sit near the sleeping baby with that low growl thing cats do.
#4 is why my crew and I can NOT wear anything above our waist when entering the processing areas while on our customers' premise. No pens, name tags, you name it. If it ain't permanently attached to you, it's a NO GO.
#8 Bad enough to have an idiot "partner" whack you in the head. This is the reason I refuse to play racquetball. No way am I going to play a game where my opponent gets to stand behind me with a club.
Some years back my girlfriend was in a "friendly" office racquetball tournament. GF is not a competitive person, but in her second or third round game (I forget) her opponent was both psychotically aggressive and a racquetball hotshot determined to win the tournament. Opponent put a two-inch gash into GF's scalp and knocked her unconscious in the process. GF woke to Oppo standing over her saying, "This means you forfeit, right?"
Laying there bleeding (scalp wounds bleed like stink), GF uncharacteristically snarled, "Oh, hell no! I'm going to get this stitched up, and then I'm coming back to kick your ass." After a visit to the ER, lidocaine and stitches GF indeed returned and beat Oppo, putting her out of the tournament. After which GF herself quit, citing massive headache and dizziness. "I didn't care about the tournament, but you don't let bad people like that win," said GF by way of explanation.
GF should have become your wife. That’s the kind of girl who will fight like hell for her kids. And these days with all the school BS that’s what you have to do.
#10 I had a cat like that. A very loving little critter, but the vet had to anesthetize him before he took him out of the carrier.

Those vets are clueless. Ours has a net, out the front door of the carrier into the net, gets checked out and a shot and back in the carrier.

I have found that cats are not chosen by the human. If they don’t like you they will let you know.

ReplyDeleteCould have got rid of the baby. Less trouble in the long run. Never saw a baby catch mice, anyhow.

Did you consider getting rid of the cat instead?
DeleteSo, how did you get rid of it? With a 22?

Daaaam! Who fed that cat in #10 a red bull?

Your girlfriend rocked.
