compared to a feral cat...

After the balloon episode, it took four of us--a vet, two assistants, and myself--to maneuver Tigra out of the vet cage and into her pet carrier. None of us escaped unscathed. I apologized to the assistants for their (fortunately minor) injuries and for the difficulty of treating Tigra. That's ok, they said. They had treated difficult cats before: they had treated feral cats.
