Normally my kitty is nervous about going to the vet's office. I know I sound like a nut saying this, but my kitty (who is normally more than a little fearful about being handled by strangers) actually relaxed and seemed to enjoy the attention offered during Dr. Golden's exam. If a cat likes the vet, well, that's saying something. I like Tara Golden too. She is a great communicator, listening well and explaining things in terms I could easily understand.
