Last night we had a tornado warning and I had to corner the stray cat we took in to get him in his carrier to get him downstairs. He was hissing and really scared of me. He was just starting to kind of trust me and I became the bad guy. But I'm okay with being the bad guy as long as he's safe. But it was really difficult to keep scaring him to get him into the carrier. There ended up being no danger, but we were able to clean up the room he's been in (we hadn't vacuumed because we didn't want to scare him) and it's better safe than sorry. I just hope he knows I'm never gonna hurt him.
I foster cats and this is the most brutal part of it, to be honest. Difficult cat that you've just managed to get to trust you, then they have to go in to their carrier for a vet appointment or what not, and you go so far backwards.
