If your cat gets sick and has to undergo painful procedures, will he get mad at you for allowing it?

I have no research on this other than my own experience. But my answer is "no - your cat will not hate you". I've brought my cat to many traumatizing experiences.  I've had to leave him for days w/o me, no friendly face. He's been very resilient and he's been very loving. When I first got him he could be a little standoffish after such visits. But that was short lived and completely gone now. You are his anchor. He will always feel comfortable with you. You're going to have to bring him to vets, which he doesn't understand or like. It's just a fact of life. You have to bring him to vets, and he will continue to trust and love you. It's just part of caring for a cat. The good news is he will give more than he takes. Good luck.

The above answers are correct. Cats won't usually cooperate, but most of them are indeed very forgiving. My cat had urinary tract disorder when she was one year old. I had to give her antibiotic injections at home, as her vet is located at the other side of the city. The nurse warned me that injection was going to be really painful, and she was right. Me and my parents together weren't able to hold my little girl down. In a ferocious struggle she ran away, having received only 2/3 dose. For the rest of the day she hid herself under the bed, hurt and thus grumpy, as if me and my parents suddenly became demons. As she gradually recovered over the following week, my cat's bad mood went away, too. She was the carefree and loving little girl again. She didn't hold any grudge against anyone in the family. She even showed trace of regret for giving me a four-inch scratch during her escape. P.S. girl cats can get urinary tract disorder, too. Don't feed your cat dry food only.

No, definitely not. Most cats try to keep acting as if everything is okay after the procedure, so you have to be there to care for them and make them learn that they must be careful while healing. My cat, Morgan, ended up having fluid in her uterus because I hadn't gotten her fixed and she never had kittens, so I had to take her in to have it removed. She's not fond of vets in the first place and is a very attached kitty, but I had to leave her overnight and fretted about her the entire time. When I got her back, though, she was relaxed and after she had healed, she didn't act any more angry. Coming home with another cat's scent on you, however, may lead to some dirty looks a few hours of the cold shoulder...

No. Most cats will be nonplussed you've grabbed them, shoved them in a carrier, taken them to the vet, and made them stay in the cage around other animals in the waiting room. After that it's not about you. Some cats will feel stand-offish after they are again home, but as long as you simply act normally they'll spring back quickly.

NO. Cats are very forgiving. You must do what needs to be done to treat a disease, health problem or injury for a pet, just as for a child.  It can be hard to squirt and dose of antibiotic into a cats mouth because they hate being messed with. It is hard to do that and other  things because they seem so unhappy...but you must. If necessary, wrap your cat in a towel or blanket to he can't use his paws to get away.

No. One of ours, a feral rescue, had Bartonella, for which we had to give him Flagyl. This is a wonderfully effective medication, with the most horrible bitter taste on this planet. He behaved like a gentleman through all the doses. A few days after it was over he was back to sleeping on my pillow next to me. I really think he went out of his way to let me know he didn't hold a grudge. (The good news: he was cured.)
