Troubling Changes in Old Cat's Behavior

I agree with everything Cathy said.

Man, talk about personality changes! I spoke yesterday with the
"sensitive" vet who took care of Dorrie when she was trapped a few
years ago. (I put "sensitive" in quotation marks because this guy
really has a reputation for being sensitive as opposed to other--and
probably equally sensitive--vets.)

He basically told me Hey, if you can't trap her, I can't treat her.
Let her live out whatever time she has left. I explained how his
warning about sedatives to a sister who also uses his services gave me
nightmares (my sister told me such horror stories about animals on
sedatives I'm actually thinking of foregoing an interview for a nice
overseas job that would require I transport Dorrie, 'cause I'd rather
die than risk what this vet says happens to pets on sedatives).

So thank you to everyone for your kind responses, but Hey, if I can't
trap her, he can't treat her.
