Keep Your Cat Under Control

I highly recommend investing in a cat grooming bag. Cats that have not been declawed can quickly wreak havoc on your hands, biting or clawing you. I have had mostly good luck when I have put my cats in a grooming bag to administer their medicine. One day, one of my female cats wiggled her front foot out of the bag, and she took it upon herself to get a blood sample from me. I found a band-aid, and she still got her meds. I also wear heavy gloves now that they can no longer scratch or bite through.

Fishing Net

A fishing net is beneficial for catching a cat that is having a hissy or growling match. You can catch your cat quickly in the net and then step on one side of it while you put meds in their ears or transfer them to a cage for their Vet visits. I have caught many unruly cats in a fishing net over the years, and it keeps you from being clawed up by feral cats or cats that do not care to go to the Vet. After about 15 years, you will need to invest in a new net, as your cats will have clawed big holes in it as it ages.

When Working With Cats, Make Sure You And Your Cat Will Be Safe

You must have your cat in a container or bag when you see your Vet. My Vet told me that once, a lady thought she could hold her cat. Unfortunately for her, her cat leaped out of her arms into a busy highway. Ensure your furry friend is always contained when traveling and exiting your car. Cats are inquisitive creatures, and if they can get out and explore, they will, which could lead to their untimely death.

When You Exit Your Home, Make Sure That Kitty Did Not Exit With You

Cats are super quick and can dash out of a door in seconds. If your cat gets out, it could be killed by dogs, foxes, wolves, Eagles, humans, and other animals. If your cat has a habit of sneaking out, ensure that you see him before you leave for the day, or he may never return. One party noticed someone gluing a cat’s feet to the pavement in the middle of the heavy traffic lane. She put on her flashers and saved the poor little shivering kitten from what would have been certain death. If you do not like cats, leave them alone, but never harm one of God’s beautiful creatures. We are guardians over God’s creatures; if we fail at that, we fail to do God’s will.

Cat Cages With A Top Lid That Comes Off

My Vet recommends these as it is easier to dispense meds to your cat, and your cat is calmer if he does not have to exit his cage at the Vet’s office. My Vet gives the cat his shots at the back of his neck while he’s in his cage, and everyone has a much better experience. Be good to all of God’s creatures and protect, love, and keep them free from harm.
