The treat trick is a time-tested tradition by pet parents and vets alike. But some pets are wiser than others. They understand that the human hand is only offering a prize because they want something in return. This poor creature may have fallen for these falsehoods before, but it’s not going to fall victim to them again.
That delicacy is not worth the cold shiny table and the poking that’s so likely to come after. This pup seems to be saying, “But it does smell good. And I know it tastes good. But I think you need to give me more. More treats will mean more cooperation. It will be a good deal for both of us, I think.”
Stay Where You Are!
Here we see, once again, the shiny shelter of the veterinary sink being occupied by a foolish feline face. This kitty looks like it means business though; this is not its first rodeo. It's pulled its ears back down against his head and refuses to blink those intimidating green eyes.
Be careful coming after this kitty, because you won't be able to take him sitting down. You will be punished for your treachery. We wonder if those claws stayed sheathed when the vet came in. We highly doubt it. This cat has made its feelings pretty clear. All we can say is that we're glad we aren't the vet in this situation.
Don't You Dare
Don't judge an animal by its size. This cat came ready to fight. "Come closer," it dares you, "just try me today!" Don't underestimate what a cat is capable of, especially when they are backed into a corner. That cuteness is only a cover. They know better.
This cat knows it won't win, but that doesn't mean it'll go down without a fight. You have made it very angry, and it's going to make sure you know it. You will know it now in the office, and probably on the ride home, too. Good luck getting anything done for the rest of the week.
You Think They Can See Us?
This charming little puppy probably had a decent morning today. He got up ready to walk, play, eat, and snuggle. He was even offered a very special car trip, to the park, he thought. He jumped in the car, as all good dogs do, tail and tongue wagging. But nothing is ever as it seems, is it?
The magical car took him not to the open fields, but to the closed wards of the vet's office. he already knows the drill, and squishes himself between Mom's legs as best he can. But the real trick is, he doesn't fit in his brilliant hiding place!
Stay Back, Or I Will Not Be Held Responsible
It's easy to see that this is one smart baby kitten. It knows that escape is its only option, and it is wise enough not to trust the vet. This kitty might be small, but it is mighty! We give it major praise for defending itself so bravely. Those teeny tiny teeth can pack quite a punch, and we're sure it's harboring some impressive claws as well.
We've seen other cats hide in sinks, cabinets, and below benches, but that's not an option here. This little kitty is ready to fight. Its ancestors were tigers, and they knew how to take down their enemies. Why shouldn't she?
