In 30 years of going to vets this is the worst experience I have ever had. The staff just grabbed my cat to weigh her with no word to me. Of course my cat wasn't happy. I took her and it was fine. The scale turned out to be in another room and they were just going to walk out the door without saying a word about where they were going? My cat needed a urine sample and the vet, Dr Kidwell, again without saying anything to me about what was going on, called for two people to help him. Meanwhile my cat is just sitting on the table leaning against me. No meowing, scratching or anything. The vet got angry that the staff folks didn't get in the room and I still didn't understand why three people were needed for a test on my very docile, 15 year old cat. I told him my cat would just sit still just fine and he ignored me. Finally two guys came in and the vet said "urine sample, hold the animal". One guy steps in, grabs my cat by the back of the neck and swiftly flips her over and the other guy grabs her hind legs and pulls them apart. The vet picks up a needle and gets ready to jab my cat with it. I say "they have always gotten urine off the table before" or something like that and the vet points the needle at me and says "are you trying to tell me how to do my job?" At that point I say "stop, I'm leaving" and the vet says "get the hell out of here then idiot". That is about how sensitive you can expect this guy to be. A total creep.
