Ouch.. why do humans do that? The vet was pulling my leg around so I doubled back and bit him.
Then my human apologized as if I had done something wrong. He had hurt me. He should have apologized to me.
What did he expect, handling me like that. His explanation (not to me but to her) was that he was palpating me! Palpating! Not so much palpating as punishing me with pain.
You just can't get through to them. As if it wasn't enough that I am getting stiff with arthritis in my old age! Of course that makes me grumpy. Oldies in pain always are. Not just cats but humans too.
It's that flooring in the kitchen that is to blame. I have to go there to eat and use the litter tray, but it's hard and slippery tiles. What I need is non-slip flooring or carpet.
The litter tray is getting difficult too. She should get me one with an easy entrance. It hurts when I have to lift my legs to get into it.
One day I won't bother. I will just pee on the floor. And she will blame me, rather than the high sides of the litter tray.
I could do with a ramp on to the sofa, and on to the bed. Yet it has never occurred to her. Why doesn't the vet suggest this instead of pain-palpitating me! A fat lot of good that is.
I heard him say "weight loss." Food is almost the only pleasure I have left. Why didn't he say "Flooring."
Humans - dumb animals without any empathy for elderly cats! I
i hear yoo, yoo tell em my furrend!!!

I am sorry to hear you are in pain. All of my babies got arthritis when they reached old age. Maybe your human could consider Solensia injections or adequan injections or even cosequin in your food (you won't even taste it!). Sending purrs and hugs from me and the boys.
