    Or at least a sprig of fresh catnip....? ;)
    I would hope so! :)
    I suppose she never got around to telling you about that....

    No, but oddly enough she seemed to like the visits.
    The first time was a bit rough, not wanting to go. (I had found and cleaned up a new carrier someone had thrown out and left it out for
    her and Molly (who had died a couple of years before) to explore, so it wasn't something unusual and scary). But when I got the carrier out
    for the other visits she was happy to go.

    The first time, I'm sure it was all very scary and unfamiliar.... It
    helps a lot when the vet is someone that really relates to the animals,
    so they feel comfortable with him/her.... Maybe after the first time,
    she realised that she'd be visiting her friend.... ;)

    She seemed to enjoy seeing new things as I walked there. Later I
    bungee corded it to the basket on my bike and she liked that as well.

    She could safely "explore" from the security of the carrier, with you
    there to protect her... :)

    But as to how she enjoyed her overnight visits she never said. :)

    And since you weren't there to see how things were going, you couldn't
    know.... :)

    She was at home with her first visit.
    We were in a small private waiting/exam room and she just went around exploring everything.
    When the vet came in she just let the vet do whatever she wanted
    without fussing, which really surprised me. It was like she had known
    her a long time.

    But as to how she enjoyed her overnight visits she never said. :)

    Apparently she was happy there since she never balked at going and
    actually looked forward to it when I got the carrier out. When I told
    her she was staying over night she didn't complain.

    A good vet.... and attuned to cats... :)

    Probably did have a sprig of catnip on her pillow... <G> She probably considered it a vacation at the spa.... ;)

    Nancy,

    That's for sure. But, even with that, you may still get bad service.
