Just as a side note but it never ceases to amaze me the baskets some people use to bring their cats into the practice ![]() Why can't people replace their baskets?! Sorry, I'll stop ranting! ![]() |

I too think it was the ONLY safe way to hold a cat in that situation. When I go to collect cats, if they are outside I will often scruff them as I gently pop them in my basket, it's not cruel & it's for 2 reasons ;1) for my safety - so I don't get scratched or bitten & I'm in control of the situation & 2) so that poor scared puss can't wriggle out of my arms & do a runner. I see people cringe sometimes as I do it, but I don't care, these are often Moms nursing newborn babies & I can't afford for them to bolt. Then obviously once they are in a safe area in my pen, we usually get along fine & I don't then need to scruff them again, but in certain environments/situations it's in the best interests of all concerned. |

angieh, it was me in the skirt, the cat was a boy! ![]() pinklizzy, I know what you mean, we still get people coming in carrying their cat/ rabbit/ guinea pig in their arms, never thinking there will also be dogs in the waiting room. I couldn't be that careless with my animals safety. |

Having read this and inwardly digested it I think that may be how I get Koko to the Vet. I have a proper wire basket. He/she will have to take her unwillingness into consideration. Can you tell I am stressing about getting her spayed? |
