I had an interesting conversation the other day with someone who used to be a veterinarian. I asked her why she stopped practicing and she said she didn’t really care about animals that much, she was mostly interested in medicine. She then told me that she actually didn’t like cats at all and that actually many of the vets she went to school with didn’t like cats either.
This got me thinking... I wonder how many vets actually like cats. I know I’ve come across many in my experiences who clearly appeared to not enjoy being around my cats. This is a bit distressing to me. I feel like it’s unethical to practice medicine on any living creature that you don’t care about. I certainly wouldn’t want a doctor who didn’t care about me looking after me.
What do others think? How important is it that a vet likes or cares about your cat?
