We had to take the girls to the vet, and well.. it was a bad experience, and she got upset and now she's hiding again.

She does at least allow herself to be pet. I hope she decides to love me still.
I'm so sad.
Paige, however, got soft paws, and adjusted to them VERY well.I love 'em. she's got little red toe nals. And I got th girls a Marley Tent, which paige was interested in, for a short while, and molly seems to be still scared to come out :/
-Back to the drawing board.

Hang in there Denise. Most cats are traumatised by a vet visit but Molly will recover soon and I'm sure she will love you still.

Denise I'm sure Molly will soon come round. Of course she still loves you, she doesn't want you to pick her and take to that darned vet again.
I know it gets upsetting, but she will soon be all over you again.

Don't even worry, Dylan gets upset sometimes too...It is only a matter of time till your kitty recovers and loves you like normal.

Just continue to try to give your baby love, and speak gently to her and she will come around in no time.

Just let her hide, and ignore her. She will come out soon enough. I have gotten to the point that I don't let my cats be taken from my sight when I am at the vets. Seems like when they vanish to the "back room" problems at home result because of the experience. I stay out of the way, but my vet now allows me to observe from a corner.

You are so right on that one Hissy! I stay with Dylan too. Unfortunately, with all the stuff he has had going on lately...there have been a couple of times where he did have to go in the back without me and it did result in behaviour problems when we got home.

The sad thing is, they wieghed her, and checked her ears and eyes. We have determined part of her problem though. Hypersthesia.

What's really sad, is that Paige is the one that got the kitty torture. She got 2 shots, and all 18 claws clipped and softpawed! as well as a weigh in.
