My daughter reported she came down on her own. Vet just laughed. It’s a cat only practice. I think they see it a lot.

Those exist? Cat only vets? Interesting!

Before we moved, we used to go to a vet called Ailurophile (means cat lover). The vet baby-talked our cat and gave him chicken baby food to calm him down. We loved that vet!

Ours had a big ass fish tank. It was calming for hurting kitty.

It took me 30 minutes to get the cats in the box. They saw tank and chilled.

And when we saw the doc they just came out, did the thing and went back in. Bless their kitty souls. Rimmer died holding my hand years later. Kuni live with my ex and is very spoiled.

Currently sitting with miss kitty. She's tucked in. Stolen 2/3 of bed. Most of blanket. Don't care. She's like a therapist.

Yes indeed. In Wichita at least. A cat hospital. Very nice and they have office cats.

Office cats.

Made me think of “the office” tv show but with cats.

I heard they’re doing an office spin off on Oscar’s political career and I think that this would be a billion times better and I would watch it every week and it would be my favorite show

Yes! We go to one and they’re the best we’ve ever had with veterinary care. I’m never going back haha

Yes. Where I live in Roanoke, VA we have a Vet place called Vets for Cats that I take my fur baby too

Find one! It's such a game changer and in most places it's not that bad of a drive. Mine is 40 minutes away and if it closes I'll be driving 1.5 hours to the next one before I take them back to a dog vet.

There's one in Greenville SC. I really liked the time I visited.

My Meeks had one in Seattle. They're rare, in my experience more high end, but they're worth it.

sadly we moved away from where ours was, but we used to go to a place called The Cat Doctor! they were actually connected to a cat-only shelter that we adopted one of our babies from, and when we brought her in for her first appointment, the vet said "i think i spayed you!" to our kitty 🥰 they were a great team, miss them very much. not to say our current vets arent great, theres just a different level of detailed care from a team that specializes in cats only.

Why would a cat vet have these high of a ceilings?

3

u/LivingLikeACat33 Mar 01 '25

Because cats like them and usually they're renting a building.

u/Future-Dimension1430 Feb 28 '25

Lol cats love to go up on those cabinets!

u/Monstiemama Feb 28 '25

I mean, define problem. I just see a cat who utilized her jumping skills.

u/percyblazeit69 Mar 02 '25

fr, the vet can just walk in and mark off that kitty’s joints are good to go

u/hyperfat Mar 01 '25

Need a taller vet?

Ps. Your kitty is adorable.

My kitty crawled into my sleeve and poked his head out. Vet was like, actually that's perfect. He had an abscess so she fixed it, gave him shots and gave me a soft neck thing.

He was an avid ratter. He became inside only after a time. Sweet life. We got him an electric rat toy.

All of our local vets have small exam rooms. This won't happen.

That's a void for you.

Poor planning on the vet's part

u/zanedrinkthis Mar 01 '25

Agreed. I don’t think the cabinets have open spaces like that at my vet’s office, or I’m sure my cat would have tried to hide up there. (He’s a very good jumper.). Instead he tries to hide his 16 lb self under the 1 inch cabinet ledge.

At least my girl just kept turning on the water with her head. The vet luckily found it hilarious.
