Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / February 2004Tiger had a rough day
Tiger (4 1/2 year old Maine Coon (?)) had accumulated too much hair etc (!) around his butt so he had to go to the vet for a trim. He did not cooperate and got more and more violent, finally getting away from us and hiding under a cabinet. The only way the vet could get him out was to put a fish net over him, pull him out and give him a tranquilizer. After he calmed down, (Tiger that is), the clipping was completed followed by a vigorous combing to remove excess hair. I brought Tiger home and kept him in the carrier for a few hours. When I let him out he wanted nothing to do with me. When I got close, he would spit and growl. This continued until I went to bed about 9 PM. At midnight, he jumped up on the bed and went to sleep curled up against me. This morning, he was back to normal. His hissy fit lasted about 14 hours. Tiger is a BIG boy (23 pounds) and is a bit frightening when he is angry. Now he is probably 22 pounds (minus a pound of hair etc.) and smells MUCH better. -MIKE circa Sun, 15 Feb 2004 13:19:33 -0500 (EST), in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, ---MIKE--- (twinmountain@webtv.net) said, > Tiger (4 1/2 year old Maine Coon (?)) had accumulated too much hair etc > (!) around his butt so he had to go to the vet for a trim.

But isn't being de-stinked worth 14 hours of pissoffedness? ;x) Laura  SignatureI am Dyslexia of Borg, Your a.s will be laminated. > Tiger (4 1/2 year old Maine Coon (?)) had accumulated too much hair etc > (!) around his butt so he had to go to the vet for a trim.

He probably feels better too, although he's probably loath to admit it! ;-) Priscilla > Tiger (4 1/2 year old Maine Coon (?)) had accumulated too much hair etc > (!) around his butt so he had to go to the vet for a trim.

He runs around more and doesn't spend hours trying to clean what he can't get off him. SignatureCheryl Trapped like rats. In a chia-pet.

Kinda like skinny dipping. ;-) Laura SignatureI am Dyslexia of Borg, Your a.s will be laminated. > circa Sun, 15 Feb 2004 16:34:26 -0600, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, > Cheryl (jlhshadow@NOSPAMhotmail.com) said, [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Laura Heh.
