Hmmm. Well, my cat and I do not bond over the fluids. Basically she hides under the bed when she hears me getting things out, and I have to pull her out, then my husband has to hold her while I put the needle in. Otherwise she'll bolt. Or slash me. Although, lately, she seems to be resigning herself to the whole process, and not hiding under the bed. I've also been able to do it myself at times (but not reliably).
None of us enjoy this, but it's probably given her a few extra happy years, so it's worth it! The fluids obviously make her feel a lot better. I don't know if *she* makes the connection, but we can tell when we've skipped a day or two in how she behaves and looks.
