I was a bit snappy when I explained I'd worked as an animal rescue officer and in a cattery and a vet practice & I know my own cat! 😾

I'm yet to take ours to the vet but Mr LF took Bib in January and explained that he had no idea how she'd react but feisty was an option. The vet was totally reassuring and unfazed. Bib went into freeze mode and the vet did comment "my, she looks very cross" but that was it.
