Maverick has been crying ever since we got back from the vets arond 6ish. its now 22.30

she's like this everytime we get back and is inconsolable.

the only thing that sometimes works is carrying her around and rocking her but she'll only let me do that for a minute or two.

feeding her, playing, stroking, trying to sit quietly doesnt work.

do i ignore her? any ideas on how to comfort her or whats wrong?

i'm going to by some feliway for future use but need an answer for no if possible. going out of my mind!

she has polyps (spell?) on her eye that the vet wont remove until she's spayed. it means she gets reccureent conjunctavitis.

maybe the eye drops hurt her? but she doesnt cry when we do them at home.

Oh i didn't know that?!. I wonder if the smells etc.. of the vets has upset her because lets face it theres not many like going to the V-E-T's.

It has to be if you think about it because you say she's like this everytime she goes


Just sit with her as much as possible and talk to her and that should calm her

my cat-hating dad has sat with her most of the night! lol. she's a bit calmer now.

the funny thing is last time we went when the kitten was sick she was ok but maybe because she didnt get prodded that time?

she doesnt want to sit with me! lol. she wants to sit by the front door. i'm taking my duvet and laptop downstairs to sit in the drafty hall with her now and finish my essay!

i never have these problems with the goldfish!

She may not have wanted to be with you because you took her to "that nasty place!" so she's in a huff


This is why i won't hold mine when they give them their injections.

Maverick will come round once you've fussed over her and begged her to forgive you
