How often for vet visits

[silent_fire]

We've got three cats in the household: 16 year old male, 9 year old male, 9 year old female. None of them have any known health issues, nobody has been showing any signs of problems, and they're up to date on shots

Depends on the cat, since they age faster than people do and people see the dr. once a year so using that logic cats should see the vet twice a year. This is also the logic of some of the animal governing bodies though the biggest one (AVMA/AAHA) is once a year

Maybe we'll skip the one who had to get a second vet tech called in to hold the other half of the kitty burrito down . . . she's super sweet and cute as long as she can check out the new space, then turns into a pissed off little ball of writhing claws as soon as someone tries to get her to stay in one place and be examined.

lol yes that is not fun for anyone, especially the cat!

After getting home and spending an afternoon licking dewormer off herself and drooling because it tasted foul (they didn't manage to get it between her shoulderblades since she was squirming so much), she spent the next day sleeping even more than usual.
