  My impression is that Dr Wood is not especially sympathetic or good with cats. My kitty is a sweet and affectionate little fellow on his own turf, but he's EXTREMELY uncomfortable and difficult at the vet, sometimes clawing or biting when he is most frightened. Not all cats are easy and while ours can be a tough case, I do expect veterinarians to be tolerant, understanding, and able to give sympathetic care to more difficult animals. While the assistants were kind and encouraging, (thank you!) at both visits I felt doctor Wood to be overtly stern, unkind and accusatory regarding our cat's behavior. The first time our cat was so frightened he flipped out worse then ever before, yowling and howling and needing to be held down under a towel. I felt so terrible for him and so guilty I cried. The second time they insisted I sedate him before bringing him in. I did so and my impression was the he had done very well, but I was still scolded and made to feel guilty for his behavior afterwords, more or less told that he was a bad cat or a "dangerous animal." He's a sweet kitty and I don't think he or his parents should be made to feel guilty or responsible for any cat's unpredictable behavior. -And all cats are of course deserving and in need of routine veterinary care. Previous vets have always been kind, encouraging, and successfully at calming him down and getting the job done, so for future needs I'll be looking for a new more compassionate vet.
