She is a sweetie.  She's come a LONG way.  I used to think she would
always be brought to the vet in a trap... the clinic used to make me
bring her in one to give her shots through the cage bars.  I'm very
proud of my little girl today.  :)

Here is her "photo album"

I love the last pic... I just uploaded it because I noticed I hadn't
put it there yet.

Hear Hear! So true. I was in agony for days prior to  bringing my cat in. I
shoved her backside in first - no problems there and luckily a very short ride
to the vet. She moaned a lot in pet cage and I felt so bad but it ws all over
in no time and she  was back to normal once out of the cage at home.

Oh no.  Do you think it may be from riding in the car?

lol No!  I was almost trembling with adrenline.  I was so afraid of
how she was going to act, if we were going to have to try to retrieve
her from the ceiling tiles, if she was going to bite everyone and me.
But as it turned out, the walking jacket was great!  She wasn't used
to it so having this thing wrapped around her waist sort of disabled
her.  Now that I got it on her once, I'm going to have to get her used
to it.  It really worked out nicely.

She may have to

Good luck Karen!  They do survive the vets!  lol  Ugh on the
projectile thingie... I've never had cats who do that yet.

Poor dear. (You, not Bonnie!!)
I hate pilling Yoda. He learned to clamp down on my finger and not let up. Had
to start using a piller. You're right about them "learning", and each pill gets
harder and harder to get down them. Yoda also is a master at harking the pill
back up. I hope Bonnie doesn't learn *that* trick!!

We're

Day 7 of pilling a mostly-still-feral cat for UTI antibiotics.  I
chose not to try to crush the pills into food because I have a hard
time getting her to eat canned food consistantly so I'm trying to pill
her the normal way.  I don't want to waste them, or not know if she
got the full dose.  The early days of "luring" her into her room and
shutting the door wore off very fast.  She isn't stupid.  Since she
has to get 2 doses per day, she catches on to my behavior when she's
about to be "caught" and pilled.  After a couple of days where she was
terrified of me and ran me in circles trying to "chase her down" I was
distraught wondering how in the hell am I going to get her full 10
days worth of ABs into her 2x per day??  The only time she really
comes to me right now is when I'm sleeping.  LOL  I didn't want to
ruin the only time she'll come up to me and let me pet her so I didn't
want to have the pill bottle on my nightstand to pill her in the AM.
Well, I had to resort to it.  Each day I get both doses into her is
another battle won.  Tonights dose was successful by getting her
downstairs when the other cats were down here with me, block off both
ends of the sectional couch (she will have me running circles around
this couch) and shut the door so she can't get upstairs.  She ran into
the bathroom and with me behind her I shut the door and got tonights
dose into her.  She hated me.  Followed up with the treats she likes
but I don't think she is really associating the treats with the
pilling.  I normally follow up Shadow's meds with water but I can
barely hold on to this little hell-fire long enough for the med let
alone a syringe of water.  So I've found a couple of pills around the
house and had to add them back to her full stash which only prolongs
how long she has to be on them.  Saturday as of now.  ggggrrrrrrr.....
It's almost like we'll have to be back to square-one with
socialization after this.  *If* her UTI is cured.  And she doesn't
have to go on more.  Sorry for the rant but I don't think I've had to
deal with a more uncooporative cat ever in my life.
