How do you do an ultrasound on a cat with just two people? Last time my cat had one 5 people were holding her, and she almost got away.
How many did she kill meanwhile?
I did an internship at a vet once and even the fiercest dog was tame and easy to handle in comparison to a slightly upset cat.
They really do just have...a lot of pointy bits.
And are impossible to restraint as they are liquid and I suspect turn into plasma under social pressure.
Very much depends on the cat, some of them just like being handled.
Squish that cat
Thanks for sharing this
My cat cannot even take a shower without medical sedation. My vet bill was too much and he was too nasty. I had to give him away
Why would you shower a cat? They are pretty good at cleaning themselves
no, it later reeked with skin infections and fungi microbes.
Did you have the cat from a kitten, or adopt them once they were an adult?
this was its behavior since it was 1 month old kitten. It has always behaved and thought as if water was fire. also scratching, biting, and fighting anyone who tries to carry it like a venemous snake. no vet or groomer could handle him without sedetion. It is a big short-haired russian breed with muscles like a small tiger. btw I'm an animal lover and worked in farms since I was a kid dealing , raising, training an taking care of all cattle animals and horses as well , and I still have 2 beautiful smart paient and well trained dogs and a cat. I've adopted, trained, handled, and conditioned more than 20 in my life. that cat was too ungrateful and I gave him away before nueterning him, and without declawing him either.
Doubt.
You write like an asshole, and I'm not surprised the cat wanted nothing to do with you
Edit: Sorry mods, apparently I'm also an asshole. I will try to be nicer
see rule 1) be kind
I can prove you wrong with pics but I don't have to. Btw even the guy I gave this cat to couldn't keep him. This cat impregnated a cat then killed all her kids and got the wife extremely sick by an infection and then we paid $1500 to save her in extensive care for a week. You cannot blame me for giving him away. I never hit him or abused him; I just couldn't take care of him
