30 of the Funniest Cat Jokes That You Can Find on Vet Clinic Signs, and They Are All Hilarious
Vet clinic signs can be surprisingly funny, especially when they turn a stressful errand into a quick laugh. For cat owners, even a routine visit can feel like a battle of wills, so a little humor goes a long way.
This roundup pulls together 30 of the funniest cat jokes spotted on vet clinic signs, along with a few quick facts about pet care and why so many people end up in the waiting room with their cats. The result is part pet trivia, part comedy break, and all cat energy.
Some of these signs are clever, some are ridiculous, and a few are exactly the kind of joke a cat would pretend not to enjoy. Read on.

In 2016, 82.8 percent of dog-owning homes and 54.3 percent of cat-owning homes made at least one visit to the pet clinic.
Total expenditure on veterinary care for all categories of pets was $27.8 billion during 2016.

Cats should visit the vet at least once a year to receive their vaccinations. While indoor cats don't require as many vaccinations as those that live primarily or partially outdoors, they still need the vaccines regarded as "core" vaccines essential for all cats. The core feline vaccines include those for feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV1), feline calicivirus (FCV), feline panleukopenia virus (FPV), feline leukemia virus (FeLV - kittens), and rabies.

Among cat-owning homes that visited veterinarians, 89.1 percent had a "regular veterinarian." They reported that the reasons for this include the veterinarian's knowledge, high-quality care, and their kindness and empathy in handling both dogs and cats.
“Cat ownership is less defined than dog ownership.” “People who feed community cats and even provide safe shelter for them often do not consider themselves the owners of the cat. However, if the cat is injured, they may be the person who brings the cat to the veterinarian.”
#4

The AVMA Pet Ownership and Demographics Sourcebook states, “Visits to the veterinarian per pet per year have remained fairly stable for a decade or longer: 1.5 times per dog, 0.7 times per cat, 0.1 times per bird, and 0.7 times per horse.”
That is a lot of waiting room time for one tiny patient.
