Raising a dog is practice for a toddler raising a cat is practicing for a teenager

Banu is a riot. She is so furious. She is gorgeous though and her owner brings out her sweet side. Needs a sweater to match her eyes. Hopefully all goes well and her temper improves.

Dr. Scott did the right thing. He looked at the family and the dog and treated all, not just Digby.

Jimmy’s mom makes me want to cry…What a wonderfully compassionate and patient lady and vet. If only everyone was so willing to look for the cause and solutions for problems with their pets instead of getting angry or even abandoning them.

I felt so so bad for Jimmy but understand his angst. We had a 20+ year old cat who recently passed away (we don't know her actual age because she was a rescue) who hated ALL change etc (and even though she loved cuddles and being a lap cat in her later years she still looked perpetually grumpy). Funnily enough she LOVED her vet appointments, our veterinarian always pampered her and even started calling the appointments "Spa Days" (she also was the only animal we've had that did not need any kind of sedation for nail trims- every vet appointment it was literally like she was getting a mani-pedi!)

Oof. poor digby really needs to see a really good behaviourist. I bet that's hard to find and prob not cheap either. But gosh, that level of agression must be so stressful for him. I really hope the fam finds a way to tackle that issue. They clearly care for him.

A bite from Digby could be career ending for that vet…muzzles arent perfect and they can fail. You have to give him huge kudos for giving him a chance. Even with the muzzle, I know that was terrifying, for the owners as well.

"It looks abnormal--" *Awkward silence, flees the room*

I've rescued and kept literally dozens of cats...43 over my adult life...and some are less social than even others from their litter. But I understand what she means very well. The fact that a cat that was homeless, probably been hurt by people and is scared of them, or is in a lot of physical pain, and yes, PTSD, can completely trust even just one human is such an honor. I've had some like that, that never trust anyone other than me, and some like one currently, who has learned that if mom...me...lets someone in the house, he can trust that person, too. THAT is a huge honor to me, that he trusts me so much that he might not know someone, but if I do, he's okay with them. Mind you he will still lie, staring at them 10 feet from them, sizing them up, until HE is satisfied by his own instincts.

as a person whose knee caps don't like to stay put. IT HURTS. completely explains Jimmy's mood. Usually Tuxies are aloof, goofy, not a care in the world.

Awe poor Jimmy I’m sure anyone who’s in pain all the time would be in a bad mood! Edit: typos

God... wasn't expecting to have a mini panic attack today watching a sphynx cat get spayed. We had a little Corgi, he was one of those animals, like Jimmy's mom talked about. We just had that connection you can't fully explain. He was 6 years and one month old exactly. He went downhill so fast. He had a rare heart condition that came up out of nowhere. We drove 2 hours to see a specialist vet on a Saturday evening. We were there for awhile talking to the vet. We finally left and headed back home without him. They were going to try to drain some of the fluid build up from his abdomen when we were leaving. We got a call 5 minutes down the road saying that he had a heart attack on the table and they were unable to get him breathing again. That was almost 4 years ago.

the rottweiler video will be my favorite for many more years. The guts, the dedications, … brilliant

Seeing all these cats that are sweet for their owners but mean to their vets reminds me of my beloved Bat. Sweetest black kitty, he let me puck him up by the neck and put a blanket on him when I was a little kid. But send him to the vet, and he was a monster. They considered it a good visit when no blood was spilled. There was one time when bat was really sick (I think he had kidney stones?) and when they got him out of the carrier, the nurse was panicking. "It's bat, and he's actually docile! There has to be something really wrong!" Despite all that, he lived to almost 20 years old before an inoperable tumor burst. RIP bat, it's been almost 8 years since you left us and I still miss you 😢

Te way the Rotty reakts looks like he is watching his owners, he feels responsibility for his pack. The owners are scared for his reaction and he feels it. Brilliant work Scott.

I completely understand how she feels about her cat Jimmy. I rescued an injured cat. At the time I wasn't in a good place mentally due to long term illness & constant pain. I nursed her bk to health & we became so close. She was very scared & skittish around other like my mum & sister but not with me. She eventually warmed up to them. She follows me everywhere & never ventures far from me. I called her Summer & She is the Greatest Thing that Ever Happened to me. She gave me a reason to carry on. I'm still in pain but it's more managed now. 2 months ago Summer went Missing. I searched for a week until I finally found someone that had seen her. He told me she had been run over & the next day 2 women saw her in his garden & offered to bury her. If you've read this far, keep going cause there's a Twist!. I mourned, I was Devastated. I got bk home & Completely broke down. My mum's not much of a hugger; I'm not either, but she wouldn't let me go, she stood there with me the whole time. 3 Weeks Ago, (2 months since she went missing). I walked into my kitchen at 2am, Switched the Light on & Saw Summer lying on the kitchen counter! She was Alive but Extremely Thin! I was in shock, I woke my mum up saying "Oh my God" over & over. I couldn't bloody believe it. But was so unbelievably Happy she was home. Vet gave her the ok. Just had to put some weight bk on. Which she has started doing. She's very skittish again tho, with others. She was skittish to me for a day but started going bk to her old self pretty quick. I love that cat so much. I'm so happy she came bk. Sorry for the long comment. 😅 Ps. I did show a picture of summer to the guy that said she died & he said it was 100% the cat in the picture. She's a pretty Distinct cat. It's not easy to confuse her for another. I've never seen another cat like her in my local area. So I have no idea what really happened to her.

Jimmy , I feel for you , all my teenage years my left knee would dislocate, each worse then before . Took docs years to diagnose it. I had my ligaments moved & realigned & it’s been ok since. But sooooo painful xx

Those rott weiler owners are so dense when it comes to dog training. Everytime that dog lunged at Scott they rewarded him by scratching him and petting him .. how can they not see ? Maybe, hopefully, after they see this episode they will realize their ways

I liked the sphinx cat the most. Next was rottweiler. Although everyone was lovely. Thank you Dr. Scott, and all the other vets ❤.

A Rottweiler needs to be socialized a lot with other people and dogs as a puppy. This is what happens when you don't get enough socializing.

I had a bunny names roger. We got him as a rescue when he was really old. We only had him for about 7 months before he passed from cancer. In those 7 months he proved to be the most amazing bunny. He was my soul mate. My heart bun. He got me and he was such a good boy. I miss him all the time.

It sounds like Digby was never properly socialized when he was a puppy.

Scott may not be #1 in Cat-World, but he is the ultimate in Dog Whisperers.

I couldn't help but giggle when Jimmy went to bite or something and the both of them went "naurrrr" every time, it was a nice lil switch up from the saddening vibes earlier

Honestly if I had a cat, they decided they liked my neighbours better than me and just left to live eith them I don't think my pride would ever recover :D

I can’t help but wonder if Digby’s owners are unintentionally making his reactions worse. They start yelling and yanking him, and I completely understand why. But they’re heightening his emotions when he’s already in panic mode. The people he loves and is relying on for support are making all these noise and pulling him around. That can’t be helping.

Fear aggression in a dog can be deadly, i know they love that baby. They need to get him urgent training, because they're risking a situation where he bites someone.

Love your vids, I’m glad here vets are able to help any animal big and small! Lol i love when they say “no” to Jimmy, they’re like “Naur”

Jimmy is such a cute and lovely Boy. Aggressive behaviour like this is mostly due to pain, or the animal being unhappy for some reason.

Digby needed a dog trainer that specializes in aggression. They are feeding his fears and aggression. Whenever he showed aggression they pull him back and "pet" him. He's confused and doesn't know how to respond.

Hi Kate and all at Bondi Vets i hope Jimmy is doing a lot better, i love the passion and dedication you all have for all kinds of animals that cross your door. Keep doing the amazing work you all do love from Liz in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Digbee is agressive because his owners are acting like freaks and the dog can feel it. It's not the dog - it's the weird energy the owners put out, it's the owners fault 100%. I bet he's a great dog!

I frequently dislocate my hips, elbows and shoulders. I'm irritable when it happens, but I'm downright cranky when I can't reduce the joint. I can only imagine how much pain Jimmy was in being unable to help himself and couldn't say what was wrong.

In my country it's considered animal cruelty to breed Sphynx cat who have no whiskers, as they aren't able to properly communicate and explore their surroundings. It's sad to see that people still buy these kittens.

when I got to number 3, I was like, ehh, Micky is kind of hard to catch, but he's not that bad... how is that top 5? aaaaaand then we got to Reuben 😂

Kate presents a tough veneer, but behind that is a deeply caring heart. So glad for her that this worked out.

Scott is an amazing vet the work and compassion he shows for the animals and owners that come into his clinic always makes me cry(in a good way) 😭

Yeah that's poor Animals needed help and I'm glad you were there for them

My dog, Boudreaux, is aggressive at the vet. He has terrible anxiety with change of any kind. He’s a “pound puppy” and was a stray. We don’t know what happened to him to cause his terrible anxiety. Prozac has helped a great deal, but he bit the tech at our previous vet. We went to a new vet & it’s in his chart that he’s a biter. Boudreaux is SO SWEET at home! He LOVES our other “pound puppy” Heidi & is very protective of her!! All dogs in muzzles are not monsters. Boud is our big “little boy” at 100lbs. He does great at the dog park! He’s a sweetie & we want to make his life as happy as possible! ❤❤❤

Oh man, I was SCREAMING ringworm when they were handling that cat with sores with bare hands and contaminating the van!!! As a shelter VA I saw that ringworm coming a mile away. Poor kitty, ringworm sucks!

Aww, Jimmy rests his chin on his "forearm".

Doogle, looks exactly like my tuxedo cat Akina. it’s actually really creepy how they are identical. if they were in the same room i wouldn’t know (just by looking) who is who😂

The relief on Banu’s mom’s face was like watching a frozen waterfall suddenly flow again

Poor banu! I had an ovarian cyst and it made me hormonal and cranky and once I got it drained it all went away.

This cat is so adorable, he really needs to be cloned. For real!

“I’d tell those people ‘I’ll look after Digby and you look after your own dog’” God I love Scott.

I love my boy my cat so much it scares me .. I just pray he lives to be old and gray .. he's my heartcat!

What's interesting about kitties is that they can be extremely angry and temperamental with or without hormones, especially when stressed due to the vet. Age can cause this too. My girl used to mainly just be nervous and try to hide or get away from the vets. But now that she's 12 years old and I believe.. starting back when she was 10, she's been getting a little bit more grouchy with hisses and growls from time to time at the vet. A little like how some people and dogs get grouchy when they get older too. Gettin' old sucks. Lol.

My goodness, you all have hearts of gold. Thank you for caring for those Wild ones 😊

@37:33 This look the cat is giving screams “Try Me”, the look in his eyes yet the calm demeanor would be kinda scary if it weren’t for that adorable heart on his nose ❤

Someone should tell those two women with the Rottweiler; petting him right after he lunges and barks aggressively, they shouldn't be patting and petting him. He now thinks that behavior is appropriate and rewarding.

Dr Scott is amazing. His patience with aggressive animals is near angelic

Maybe you’ve mentioned this already and I missed it, but can’t these difficult patients be given a mild sedative before they come in so they’re not so difficult for your staff to deal with and you all can be safer???

I had a cat that was dark grey with that same diamond mark on his nose.

Isn't petting a dog during or after a show of aggression the same as rewarding him?

The vets did an amazing job.

I think you can add the wee dog that Chris needs to check up and give his yearly vacinations and pill. To see how anxious he is before the dog is in his office is a bit of a giggle. He handles himself well yet still gets a good bite. And then how relieved he is that he doesn't need to see that dog again for a whole year.

I hope they can find a trainer for Digby. That breed can be tricky if you don't know how to train them especially if they start to show aggression. That goes for any big dog I guess though.

Poor Jimmy! I have high knee caps, so my knees are dodgy as well, and my left is worse than my right. I fall over a lot because my knees give way, so I get Jimmy’s stress and agro - dodgy knees are not fun

That Rottweiler is scary. I hope that the owners realize how careful they must be with him.

God this gives me PTSD. I'm a vet nurse and angry cats are the beign of my existence. I once hd to deal with a cat where the owners were like "he doesn't like to be picked up" just before letting him jump on the ground. So of course it was my job to get him back up there. I put on my thick cat gloves to try and pick him up, only for him to turn around, dig his teeth into my arm TWICE right above the glove and use my face as leverage to get away.... So yeah. Give me and angry rottie any day

Banu DID NOT like poor Scott, she won’t forget him 😂

Why am I not surprised that Jimmy is in this list 🤣 and the first one! Hahaha I love that little maniac so much.

I'm surprised that the two mobile vets didn't start out with gloves before even touching the cat, especially with a skin condition

You know that Banau has been swearing at Scott this whole time calling him everything but a white man. Poor Scott.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤😊😊

Loved all the videos 💞💯💞 in this video series of Bondi Vet 😊❤😊

i miss watching your livestreams it has so many good shows i hope you have a new one

43:56 he lunges and the owners pet him. It’s just adding to his behavior and not helping

Digby needs a behaviorist.

As someone with bad knees, I understand why Jimmy seemed so angry.

My first cat told us that her collar had cut into her neck by attacking me. But she was also not a people cat.

Maybe do a home visit for Digby next time, if possible.

Banu is the funniest spicy kitty 😂😂😂

Dougal was in pain. Poor baby

That beautiful Rottie needs to know his aggression isn’t getting the results he was hoping for. He needs to push past his fear and be happier instead of stressed. Plus, I think that if the owners weren’t in the room he “might” not of been so aggressive. He’s guarding them so it makes the whole situation worse.

"Sweet" Jimmy!

thank you bondi vet

Jimmy is soooo cute

When dealing with fearful aggression, have some high value low calorie treats on hand! Toss one on the floor every now and then and it'll speed up the trust process until it can eat from your hand!

He is wonderful!

29:44 Spicy Purrito

Responsible breeders knows about the type of issues Banu has early on. Like, before they even sell the cat and should have a document from the vet. that states the cat is healthy. That can't possibly be a pure bred with a pedigree, just another BYB housecat without fur.

Digby was terrifying. Scott is amazing, as always but he really could end up attacking a person or another dog. Saying things like “he’s sweet to us in the house” doesn’t really matter- he’s a dog so he has to be outside sometimes. Not saying he’s a “bad” dog but hopefully something can be done before someone gets hurt.

Sorry, they may love the Rottweiler, but he's a accident waiting to happen. If the vet is terrified of him, what would happen if he got loose?

How you can watch your cat being operated on is amazing.

Banu is legendary. I had to watch again. 😊

I relate to banu on a spiritual level

I'm surprised that he reached to pet Banu without first offering to let her sniff the back of his hand. I think Banu would have even more accepting to being petted if he had

(Pet number 2)When I heard “Enough to nock out a rhino.” I thought this dog was was invincible.

I ❤ jimmy!!

My 2 first cats had ring worm when they were young. Can't remember how old. Probably 2 months. It ended up infecting my sister and I'm apparently immune? We co parents them and they stay in my bed room. So we ended up javing to quarantine and disinfect my whole bedroom by moping the floor with vinegar. I HATE VINEGAR.

9:00 naurrrr

Amazing surgery he did on the cat's knee!👍

9:30 I'm sorry but if someone held my cat like that, I'd be upset.

I forgot how much Banu loathed Scott. 😬

Such a long journey, but wow Tom 🎉

Operating on your own kitty. Oh my!

Owners need to stop petting/rewarding Digby when going through his fear aggression. We see it as providing comfort, but they often see that sort of thing as a reward or encouragement. Just being calm and being there for them to be up against or whatever is all you need. It's a really hard habit to break. We adopted a Malinois mix that turned out to have similar issues. Very careful socialization is the only potential solution. We've had her for 7 years now and she's finally coming around to specific people when they visit our house. And she's getting less aggressive towards people like the vet. I find it odd that they couldn't find a vet who would see Digby. Isn't it kind of a vet's job to deal with potentially aggressive animals? Even the sweetest, calmest natured dog can turn aggressive when they're in pain. I kind of wonder if Digby wouldn't respond in a similar way to our dog... when left alone with the vet or the tech, she is still anxious but submissive as can be. When me or my husband are out of the picture, she stops acting aggressive and tries submission instead. Which I think is why the shelter missed it and why we didn't see the behavior come out for a few months (about the time she started to really settle in and get comfortable with us and our home).

Honestly my old cat ( dead ) Amelia would be worse than dougal or same as him
