The official CAT thread

Hamish’s favorite cat toy. I can’t even pick it up without him responding. Walmart for $1.97. Couldn’t even pick it up to take a pic when he came bounding in from another room and started batting at it.

Expensive VET day.

Dobby, our troll that lives under our house in the shop tangled with a ??????, about a month ago. We have been monitoring a bite wound on his shoulder that healed(we thought) then began oozing the yuk last week.

He is a nightmare to deal with so two hours before the appointment, sedatives powdered in his morning wet food(does nothing). I slip on the gauntlet welding glove and arm myself with a heavy duty binder clip and off we go.

The vet is thankful I do all of the handling while she shot his ass with a knock out drug. He still managed, with a towel over his head and me keeping his head and body pinned, to get through my glove.

Anyway, a drain will be placed into the shoulder, an antibiotic shot that is good for five days, and all of his booster shots.

I pick him back up at 4:00 PM.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Sincerely
“Remind me why we have animals, again?”

I will edit and attach a pic later of him tripping balls.


Oh yeah, Dobby is our bi-polar 16 pound terror that showed up on the property 10 years ago. Has never been right after getting fixed at our local animal outreach. I think the cooked him due to an allergic reaction to something that gave him. High fever resulted.

I understand the glove but not the binder clip; is that for the Feline Vulcan Neck Pinch?

Sort of,

I got the idea from a vet video on how to deactivate a cat. I used the clamp on my arm to test the pressure first. The jury is still out though. It might have tuned him down a little. Our vet actually uses them, but they call them “calming clips” and I don’t think they are binder clips. He is such a handful, I figured it was worth a try. Placement might have something to do with it. In rewatching the video, it seems they place it a little lower than where I clipped it.
