Well today was a nightmare day!!
Little Nook had to go to the vets for his second booster shot. I had been putting it off because we had been having so many issues with him being totally petrified since we brought him home. We have been making slow progress and he was finally starting to interact with us, playing and taking treats from our hands.
I felt quite confident that I would not have much trouble getting him in the cat box.....boy was I wrong!
After trying to catch him he headed back into his safe room where I finally manged to get him in the box after being scratched all over my arms and hands and being bitten. It was a totally horrific experience for him and for me.
When I arrived at the vets.....hands covered in blood....it looked as if I'd murdered something.
The vet took one look and said to leave him there so he could calm down as he looked a bit stresses out, plus I was still shaking from the experience. The lovely vet even checked me over because my hands were in a bit of a state.
He was also due to be desexed in 2 weeks time and the thought of getting him into the box again totally horrified me.
The vets called me and suggested they do the desexing today. They could do the booster at the same time and the little chap would not need to go back for another year. By that time we would hopefully of settled down.
Well has only just woken up from his horrible day and as yet has not come out of his safe room.
My worry is will I go back to day 1 and all my hard work will of been for nothing...........will he forgive me?
Do cats remember these things?
I really had no choice he had to get the booster.
Will the desexing help calm him down?
