All the neighborhood dogs, neighbors and cats had a very healthy fear... I mean respect for her. She beat the ever loving hell out of two pittbulls, leaving them bloodied and howling. They had made the mistake a couple hours earlier of chasing her, and that she-devil waited until the owners had tied them up then slunk down and taught them why you dont chase cats. By the way, this sweet lil kitty had the name of Velcro (more on this later).<br /> She decided they had had enough of teeth and claws and came back home where we checked her over for injuries. Nothing. The only blood was from the dogs.<br /> A few weeks later we noticed her ear looked inflamed and took her to the vet to get it checked out. <br /> Now Velcro and this vet had tangled before. He took one look in the carrier, heard that growl from Hell and saw the the narrowed yellow eyes and tells me "You stand back and let us wrap her in three towels. She wont be able to claw us through that."<br />I asked if maybr he should sedate her first to which he replied "Oh no, shes a good cat. She'll be fine. Shes just a little afraid and not feeling well."<br /> I, knowing what demon was about to be unleashed in that examination room, stepped back away from the table like a coward and put a chair between me, the cat and vet.<br /> Now, i should explain why she was named Velcro. When angry she had a bad habit of hooking her claws as deep as they would go into fabric, leather and skin and you would have to peel her away...like velcro.<br /> Anyway, back to the poor sucker.. I mean vet. He had the vet tech flip open the door and he grabbed Velco by the scruff while the other vet tech reached over and hurriedy wrapped the growling cat up.<br />Hes standing there holding my cat burrito, and the two techs and vet are basically congradulating each other on immobilizing her. Suddenly we all hear this ungodly howl from her and the tearing of the towels.The vet is trying think of what to do with this little 10 pound spawn of Satan when she tears through and Armagedden arrived in the form of angry grey tiger.<br />She latched onto the chest of nearest tech, who bravely shrieked lik a 9 year old girl and shoved Velcro towards the vet.<br /> The vet bravely reacted with a loud "Oh Sh**!" as she sunk her claws into him and gave a another of her demonic howls.<br /> It took all three to wrangle her back into the cage. <br /> He decided that they would keep her overnight and sedate her by gassing her.<br /> When i returned the next day he told me that yes, she had an ear infection from a cheat grass sticker that had gotten way down in her ear. They had removed the foriegn body but she was going to need ears drops three times a day. <br /> In the following days, she ripped the front out of three of my shirts, one of my dad's, destroyed two towels, a flannel sheet and four pillowcases.<br /> Loved that cat, though. She was a very affectionate cat unless you tried to restrain her,. She lived to a ripe old age.<br /> Moon Dancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708067167152538878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-39928874226820664532018-08-19T20:12:55.980-05:002018-08-19T20:12:55.980-05:00I had to stop reading aloud so my husband could ta...I had to stop reading aloud so my husband could take his insulin.<br /><br />I have a sucker sign too.

My Chow mix, Fuzzy, loved the vets. To the point that we had to spell out the word to prevent instant happy dance redy to go. <br /><br />Apparently, Fuzzy had a twin sister.... an evil twin Skippy... who ended up at the same vet. So the staff comes in and "Oh, look, it's Fuzzy! Let's give Fuzzy a scritch...." SNAP!<br /><br />"That's not Fuzzy, is it?"<br /><br />They actually made up a sign "This is NOT Fuzzy!" to hang on her cage when she came in (they showed it to me).

When I was a kid we had a cat named Grendel, after the beast from Beowulf. Trust me, he didn't get that name by accident.<br />Grendel is the one and only cat my family has ever had declawed, because he was A)aggressive B)smart and C)he liked to aim for the eyes. I think that last one was the deciding factor. I was absolutely terrified of that cat for something like ten years. He mellowed with age, and we eventually came to a truce, but he was terrifying.

Said cat was in her Cute Mode up until I mistakenly touched the edge of her cage.<br /><br />Next thing I knew, this cat exploded into action like something out of a supernatural thriller horror movie; a colossal hiss followed by Hovering Homicidal Hairball Mode and frenzied loud-as-all-heck meows. The whole thing, quite apart from scaring the hell out of me, scared the hell out of the few cats around her and made the whole store look around that way.<br /><br />As we were walking out, Chat Noir Royale repeated her feat to a little girl, causing her to scream in fright.<br /><br />Oh yeah, and my finger had two long cuts on it for a week after that visit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15351623684323813090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-20020873171507493492010-08-01T20:57:07.620-05:002010-08-01T20:57:07.620-05:00I see your vet trip. and raise you this one
