Taking your cat to the vet is often a picture-worthy experience.

Look, we all hate going to the vet's with our cats. I hate it, you hate it, our cats hate it. It's the worst. Going to the vet is generally not a fun experience for anyone. So, we try to make the best out of it. In whatever way we can. We talk to other cat owners in the waiting room, and we end up hearing some insane cat at the vet stories. We ask the secretaries about the silliest things people have paid thousands for in their clinic. And of course, we look at the other cats.

Generally, in the waiting room, the cats are just kind of stressed. We know that the real chaos happens inside the exam room, when the carrier is opened and the little fur machine is out. Some cats enjoy vet visits, but most of them… hate each and every second of it. And as difficult as it is to see as the owner of said stressed or angry, it is also sometimes worth a picture. Because in retrospect, some of the things that they do in there are definitely worth documenting.

Cats hide at the vet's office. Cats run around, losing their minds, looking for an escape route in every corner of the room. Cats look at the vet as if they are their worst enemy. And it is hilarious. It just is. It is so hilarious that when one person on Twitter shared a picture of their heckin' grumpy cat at the vet's office, thousands of others came in with their own photos and created one of the funniest cat-related viral Twitter threads that we have seen in a long, long time. We promise, this is one that is 100% worth a scroll.

Oh, that cat was so, so done with this vet visit. He just got there, and he was already done. And we are sure that every time the vet opens this picture and laughs at it, the cat is sitting nearby in the carrier, still completely done with everything.

Goodness, when kitties come back zooted out of their minds, we try not to laugh. We really do. And we always fail.
