I can sort of see the picture in my head - La Diva in a straightjacket with a sock on her head and Elaine quickly and efficiently trimming her nails! (with no blood or other injuries to either party)!!!! Let's hope....... Elaine are you OK? |

Angie H- that has been invented! It's called a cat-bag, the cat is placed in the bag and zipped up into it along the back. There's a zip at each corner so that you can pull a leg out if needed! We use them a lot at work, the cats tend to calm down a lot quicker in 'the bag'! I'll try and find a picture/link! |

Here I am, unscathed, cancel the grapes etc for the time being. We only got one paw done and she almost caught me a beauty across the face but wasnt as bad as I have seen her at the vets. I held her and gave Graham the job of clipping. I held the paw i wanted done first and he began on the other . We'll get the other one done tomorrow night, fingers crossed and then we will start on the front ones. She got some buscuits after and a fuss. I wouldnt dare put a sock on her head, one time at the vets they tried to put a small dog muzzle on her to hide her eyes and she hit the bloody roof, hyperventilating and everything. Its my beleif that if I hold her, and because i am not scared of her, that makes alot of difference. Ofcourse she grumbled and tried to swipe me once or twice, I just dodged the swipes and remained calm. I'd rather it took us 4 days to clip all four paws than have her sedated for it. I did try on my own last night and had to wrap a jumper round my hand as she went mental. Easier with two people. |

Glad it went successfully; one paw at a time beats sedation any day! I cannot imagine trying to put a sock on Leia's head; think that would be disastrous... |
