I feel like they should have specified:

Use drugs (on the cat)

The more drugs I consume, the less I worry about performing medical procedures on the cat, so problem solved! Now where'd I leave the ketamine?

IN A FAIR FIGHT, A CAT WILL WIN

Fight dirty; punch the cat below the belt.

The cat is one step ahead, for they have no belt to punch below.

I love it when cats headbutt back (seemingly) way too hard, it's really expressive.

Even with context it's pretty horrifying. There's gotta be a better way lol

Right?

Cats aren’t a huge threat. They are vicious but tiny. Long sleeves and gloves and the cat is done for.

Better put your Carhartt on because those little razor paws could catch a wrist and end you with one good swipe.

This is why I have a little bottle of gabapentin in the fridge. I'm fine with the scars of playful nips and accidental scratches but sometimes a gentle manicure is needed or it's necessary to get her into the carrier and go to the vet. And just in case she's ever injured, I could ease the pain before taking her in and she wouldn't struggle and maybe injure herself more. Because pain doesn't stop a cat, they just fight harder.

That is a chunk of wisdom right there. Applicable well beyond mere cats. This whole post could apply to politics.

If your vet even gets in a situation where they'd "have to fight" your cat you probably wanna go to a different vet

Theharpyeagle 21 points 2 years ago

I mean, sometimes cats need care and the vet doesn't really have time to gain their affection before poking them with a needle or prodding them all over. Not every cat is a fan of that, so sometimes you gotta deal with a cat who is trying very hard to claw your eyes out.

If you can't handle them without sedative then you can't administer the sedative in the first place. If you can handle them well enough to give them a sedative shot then you could just give them the vaccine shot you wanted to in the first place

Theharpyeagle 3 points 2 years ago

I mean cats can be a lot harder to handle after you poke them. What if you need to give multiple vaccines? What if you need to draw blood? What if you need to touch other parts of their body to look for issues? What if you need to examine their mouth? Some cats will put up with it, some (a lot) will not. It's a lot safer and less stressful for everyone if you just use a sedative when needed.

Inhalation anesthetic. We had kitty sized masks for the cats that just wanted to hiss and spit, and we had a clear, plexiglass box for the cats that wanted to rip our faces off. Once the cat goes googly eyes, we could intubate, or just finish the procedure quickly, and get it back in a carrier to recover.

We also had a bag. It was basically a thick pillowcase with 5 zippers on it. We'd stuff the cat in, and only unzip one hole at a time.
