Gretzky is a sweetheart almost all the time. She likes people, she likes pats, but she associates the vet's office with trauma, and the only way she feels safe is if she shoves her head in my armpit so that she can't see what's happening. She feels safe in Mummy's arms. Kind of the cat equivalent of sticking one's fingers in one's ears and singing LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
The vet tech was holding her so that she was facing the vet and had to watch the needle coming at her. Then they tried wrapping her in a towel, and that didn't work either.
*shrug*
You'd think they'd be used to it by now: I always end up holding her when we're there.
