Some cat emergencies come on suddenly and are overt, but others start off vague. Here's how to recognize an emergency situation and when to bring your cat to the vet ASAP. All tips are brought to you by Dr. Eric Barchas via Catster.

 The following list is designed to help you recognize cat emergencies that always warrant an immediate trip to the vet. However, it is not exhaustive, and you may find yourself in an ambiguous situation not covered on the list. Remember that when in doubt it is always safest to have a vet evaluate your cat. A physical exam that reveals nothing wrong causes no harm; doing nothing about a critical situation can lead to a fatal outcome. 

Well, you know your cat is diffucult and could be quite handful, but do you really think he would have apologized if he could? Check out this relatable visit to the vet illustrated by the people of iizcats.

It all started when cat owner, Ashly Perez shared on twitter her cat's special coping mechanism while they visited the vet...it evoked all kind of funny memories from other cat owners too.   

Most cats don't love going to the vet, and some cats downright hate it. While the car ride there might seem somewhat exciting, the moment your cat catches whiff of that sterile vet office smell it's all downhill from there. 

A very important note for cat/ dog owners

Most pet owners plan on being by their pet's side when they go. Surprisingly, there are some who don't want to be there when it happens.
It's understandable that a person who loves their pet wouldn't want to watch them die, but at the same time, how can an owner leave them to die on their own? If you think it doesn't matter or that your pet doesn't know or care if you are there or not, think again. The Hillcrest Veterinary Hospital recently shared a post from a vet, and it's heartbreaking. The vet shared what happens when a pet is euthanized or left to die and how they look for their owners in their final moments. It's a tough read but a necessary one for any pet owner.
