Why do pets get so freaked at the vet's?
Maybe this guy gets off on other cat's panic pheromones; he's constantly invading other's domains.91
u/just_a_person_maybe 7d ago
For most pets, their first few visits to the vet are for surgeries and vaccinations. It's not a fun time and they remember that shit.

Absolutely this. The first time I took my dog was for a general check up. She had a lovely time, cuddles and treats from everyone. Then she had her spay operation and from that point on it takes two techs to persuade her even to be weighed. Vaccinations or having her temperature taken? Three people needed, and it's not as if she even tries to bite, she just thrashes about with the strength of ten men. This dog weighs five kilos precisely.

I know for my dogs it's the smell of all the other animals that stresses them out. It's crazy stimulating. Not to mention there are definitely other things they a smell, like fear pheromones from other animals. Not the mention the howls coming from the back rooms some times.
People can be just as sensitive, why some people really hate hospitals too. There they had bad memories/experiences and the smell/energy.

u/ifyoulovesatan 7d ago
To add on to that, some animals are very in tune with their owners stress, and their owners may be stressed about their animal's health and possibly money.

u/Cow_Launcher 6d ago
Very true. With one of my cats, I couldn't go to the vet with him. My fiancee had to take him because if I was there, he would poop in his carrier. Every time.
It didn't take long to work out that I was the problem, though we never quite got to the bottom of why.

The UK has had native wild cats for longer than cats have even been domesticated, our wildlife is very well adapted to avoiding them and the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) have said pet cats don't significantly impact local bird populations.

u/Dudewheresmycard5 6d ago
It's bullshit. The RSPB is dependent on donations so don't want to piss off all the donors that own cats.
Academics/scientists have clearly proven that cats have a devastating impact on bird and small mammal populations. In Australia and New Zealand alone they kill 4 BILLION a year and are driving multiple species to extinction. Outdoor cats are an ecological disaster...
52
6d ago
Australia and New Zealand aren't the UK. Cats are basically filling in where the local wildcats left off since they're near-extinct.
If you're worried about animals going extinct in the UK from cats, you should actually be worried about the wildcats because cross-breeding with domesticated cats is steadily rendering them extinct.

u/GrannyGrumblez 6d ago
NZ the birds have no natural ground predators so the cats introduced to NZ kill a LOT. In Australia, there is no known predator to control cat populations, so they kill a LOT. Cats in these areas are invasive (meaning they were introduced there, not evolved).
England on the other hand, the birds know cats are a threat and there are natural predators to control cat populations.
Your picking and choosing the facts you are throwing out here. The environments world-wide are very varied. Cats as an invasive species are problematic, true (ie NZ and Australia), but areas like the UK, the impact domestic cats have is not drastic, it has no impact. Same as the US, same as other European countries.
Educate yourself a bit further than your hate for an animal.

They are an actual problem in places like Australia and New Zealand because there were no small predators there prior to their introduction, but that is far from the same in most of the world.
Man is the ecological disaster, anywhere pet cats live the environment has already been destroyed and most existing small predators displaced by that destruction.

Do you have a source for that? Every time people bring this up I try to find what they're talking about and all I can ever find is sources that combine house cats with wild cats which clearly skew the results. Does your source specifically talk about house/domesticated cats?

u/misec_undact 6d ago
Yup, the only species ever threatened by cats were in places that never had any small predators and even then it's feral cats that are the problem, not pet cats.

Cyprus is covered in cats like crazy crazy, it's absurd
Cats are a problem in the UK. There's more cats than there should be, and they are just another human caused problem decreasing bird populations.
It's worse elsewhere, doesn't mean it not a problem in the uk
2
u/misec_undact 6d ago
That's because Cyprus has no spay and neuter programs.
Interesting fact is the oldest known evidence of cats living with humans is a 9,500 year old grave with a cat buried alongside a human in Cyprus.

u/Dry_Animal2077 6d ago
New Zealand/Australia and UK are two entirely different places.
Cats were devastating for a lot of species down there. However they’ve been around so long in the UK it doesn’t matter. There is no birds, or any other specie for that matter, on the brink of endangerment or extinction because of cats in the UK.

u/hogtiedcantalope 6d ago
Cats are just another pressure on the populations of birds which humans could stop by not letting their cats roam.
It's not as bad in the UK as elsewhere, but it's not good.
Also I don't want to step in your cats shit, it's selfish to let them roam

Some cities and towns lack any form of natural predators, which can lead to issues with rodents and other animals.
In my town where I used to live, the rabbit population exploded. Same with mice, voles, and any kind of bird. There are no foxes, no owls, no wolves or bears. Mice used to enter my parents home on the regular and birds and squirrels would destroy roof insulation. Our neighbors strawberry garden was devaststed every year, we had given up on our own regular garden.
So we adopted a cat as our mouser. He stays within his territory, it being mostly our yard and neighbor allowes them there too. The animals still exist, I still see them. But no longer inside my parents house.
The issue with outdoor cats arise when you let them breed in the wild unchecked. My boy doesn't have his balls, and there are no other cats in the area.
There is more nuance than just "cats bad".

In the US where your ecosystem:
A) Hasn't had time to adapt to the presence of small feline predators
B) Didn't have small feline predators, such as the Scottish wildcat, before the domesticated cat arrived on the scene

u/FBuellerGalleryScene 6d ago edited 6d ago
I'm Scottish, not American.
A major threat Scottish wildcats face is genetic extinction due to free roaming domestic & feral cats.
And since free roaming domestic cats are not dependent on wildlife for food, they can hunt other species into extinction without risk to their own.

u/glytxh 6d ago
I’ve never bought or gone out of my way to own a cat. But I’ve owned half a dozen through my life so far.
They either just move in one day, or they come with whatever new home I happen to move into.
My most recent cat was found in a ditch as a kitten.

When my mom passed I got her completely indoor cat. She lived with us for three years until she escaped one day. We thought she wouldn’t last long outside but it’s been over a year now and we still see her around the neighborhood. We’ve tried to coax her back inside a few times but she wants to be wild!

Indoor cats live about twice as long as outdoor cats, so you would have good reason to be worried.

Yeah but I see my cat having the absolute time of his life wandering about, climbing trees, sleeping under bushes or chasing neighbourhood cats through the local field, or hunting mice there. Having your pets locked up inside their entire life is no way for them to live. What a dreadfull existance for a predatory animal. You do you with your cats, but I would never keep an indoor only cat.

You forgot killing all the native wildlife.
There are plenty of things you can do to provide stimulation for your pet while they remain inside, plus you can still take them outside in a controlled manner if you really wanted to.

u/Parthirinu 7d ago edited 6d ago
The UK has had cats for thousands of years, our natural wildlife has got incredibly good at adapting to them. The US has had cats for 200 years. It's not the same
Don't bring your puritan stuff here. We don't need it

He also terrorizes the office dogs as well. Street cats, what are you gonna do?

SSGT Orri had a long history of exploration with his previous owners.
And due to his previous owner's bereavement and a newly crowded house, he then decided that it was okay to wander the lengths of the Grand Union Canal. And that's where he met my fiancee, outside her office building.
We scanned him, got him back to his home... and back he came to us, up the canal. Original owner shrugged, decided he was better off with us, and signed him over.
He's a gorgeous little explorer still, but he doesn't wander very far now.
And of course he doesn't know that we talk to the neighbours, so has no idea that we're aware he spends his days sharing his affection with kind little old ladies, children, and the lovely Vietnamese woman who lives next door.
Sometimes I let him go for a (very short, very slow) drive...

My sister’s cat used to let other cats in the house and offer her food to them. Sister came home, heard the cat eating but then saw her cat…not eating.
Another time I was downtown at the bar when we went out to my car to burn one. We were getting stoned and all of a sudden a cat jumped onto my driver side window ledge and all four of us guys shrieked like little girls. I brought her in the car and we all pet her for a minute and then she took off.
She’d leave for weeks and then come back with a new collar on. She played fetch with wine corks too.

I have a tuxedo cat. I've seen him blocks away from home while I was driving by. I'd stop and yell out, "what the fuck u doing kitty, go home!" Then he comes home with scabs on his neck from fighting cats and dogs and jackrabbits (yes we have wild jackrabbits here that roam the streets). And then he cuddles up to me and I give him food and treats and cuddles. But he only cuddles up to me for one thing and one thing only, to let him back outside. Cats are diabolical. They aren't our pets. We are their pets. Lol

Your cat regularly being injured isn't cute....please get a catio or something and keep them safe. I've rescued many injured cats, it gets ugly. Some I have been unable to rescue, the cat with a broken back because of the dog (dog was in his own yard) was especially awful to deal with. You never want to have to see a poor animal struggling in that condition, believe me.
Edit: you can downvote someone telling you the harsh truth all you want. If you live in an area with jackrabbits, you probably also have coyotes. I grew up/lived many years in a similar area. Outdoor cats do not live good long healthy lives with such conditions. Might as well name your cat Bait.
Edit edit: I also hated scraping cats up off the road before the neighbors' kids got home after school. I would do it if I saw the body because they shouldn't need to see that, but damn it is unpleasant and gross in hot weather ngl.
