LOL, I have a 15 year old cat who has been to the vet 2 times in her entire life - getting her series of shots and getting spayed. She TOTALLY freaked out both times and during the 3 moves during that time. Took her days to recover. She is so afraid of everything that there are people who have known me for years, have been to my house dozens of times and never seen her. She's a bit of a wimp ;)
BTW, the vet is the one who told me there was no reason to bring her in for any more shots since she is a single indoor cat, so no lectures
And hell, at 15 she's the healthiest animal I've ever had at that age.
