I'm with you, Ruffie... NO NEEDLES PLEASE! Sigh, poor thing. My first cat figured out where we were going too, after the first visit, and I had cat hair from one end of the car, me and Adam... he threw a marvelous, energetic, highly emotional FIT! But good for you, not caving in... he may never thank you, but the rest of the world will. There, there, Ruffie, this will only hurt for a second (YEAH RIGHT!) good reporting, poetically speaking, Eddie M. hug him for me. katy xox. p.s. that picture is beyond hilarious! and accurate!

Can feel his pain; poor Rufuz. My dogs both feel the same. They hate going to the vet's office. I have to drag them inside.

And I definitely need new glasses. I thought he feared Noodles at first!

Ouch! I hope Rufuz had felt better after the needle. I know the feelings. Pets are like our children, we feel for their pain and fears too. You are a good father to Rufuz and he knows it.

Good job on this one, Ed!

Poor Rufuz's LOL. Even the cat is surprised, I can see LOL. Now don't you like Killer Kate and steak a lot better?

Actually I had a cat that had the same reaction. Poor Vet! I really mean that. Cat got the needle, but the vet and other helpers have the scar to prove the fear of the cat.

My sympathies with Rufuz. I hate needles too even though I have donated blood 90 times in my life thus far. Thanks for the humor, Ed. Love and peace to you, my friend.
