Re: Is it normal (TW for animal abuse?)

[(Anonymous)]

You should probably work on dialing it down (because it's not the best place for your mind to go and screaming probably worries your pet even though she doesn't understand the words). I'd find it disturbing if I were in a room with you or overheard it. But even though you should step away from screaming at your pet about killing her, it's not in the same ballpark as directly physically harming your pet, which would be really disturbing.

You don't have to feel like you're a terrible person, but you could be more considerate toward your pet. She's not avoiding the carrier out of malice; it's just a source of stress that she is very understandably acting to avoid. She is not capable of understanding the long chain of causality that makes this stressful situation a good thing for her in the long run (this can be hard even for humans, with their much greater capacity for long-term thinking and abstraction). Screaming at her just compounds the stress (and stress is a kind of physical harm).

If you're going to behave as if your pets understood language and had complex motivations for not getting into the carrier, the better thing to do would be to explain to them calmly and in detail why it's important to go to the vet and why the carrier is a necessary evil. It won't be any more effective than threats would be in terms of what words your pet can understand, but it might help decrease the overall stress level for both of you.

I understand that it's hard, but give it a try. If you wouldn't scream this way at another human, you know you can exercise the same control for your pet. Take your frustration out on something that isn't alive.
