Cat Health & Safety

How good are you at charades? Strange question, right? Well, it’s not as strange as you might look or feel when you’re acting out your cat’s hacking, shaking, collapsing, snorting, or whatever behavior is bringing you to your vet’s office. While we in the profession promise to never judge your acting skills (OK, maybe “never” is too strong a word), we’d honestly rather see your cat doing their “strange” behavior themselves. And since they frequently won’t do it when in the exam room, the next best thing is to video the behavior at home and bring it along to your appointment. If you still want to show off your charade skills, by all means, have at it. We “promise” not to laugh.
