9. My Whiskers was a troublesome huge cat... part Maine Coon...

but she never seemed to argue with me when it came time for her insulin shots. She had a lot of loose skin around her neck, and I can testify to the size of the needles. This is the same cat that used to hide her pills in her cheek and then dump them behind the couch (I found out much later) for another condition. She really could be a smart stinker! (LOL) But all in all, I had more trouble with my Mom and her meds than I ever did with Whiskers!

I also had to give shots to my Mom's cat twice a day... and Minnie was a real "scaredy cat" and she didn't even flinch when I gave her the shots. For THIS cat to be calm, you know the shots had to be nothings! I just had to keep Minnie away from Mom when I gave Mom HER shots. Mom didn't do nearly as well as Minnie!
