        The more drugs I consume, the less I worry about performing medical procedures on the cat, so problem solved! Now where’d I leave the ketamine?

      It can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with, it doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear, and it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead

      I love it when cats headbutt back (seemingly) way too hard, it’s really expressive.

        Better put your Carhartt on because those little razor paws could catch a wrist and end you with one good swipe.

    This is why I have a little bottle of gabapentin in the fridge. I’m fine with the scars of playful nips and accidental scratches but sometimes a gentle manicure is needed or it’s necessary to get her into the carrier and go to the vet. And just in case she’s ever injured, I could ease the pain before taking her in and she wouldn’t struggle and maybe injure herself more. Because pain doesn’t stop a cat, they just fight harder.

      We do this too. :) My maine coon has garnered a reputation at the vet. 🥲 I actually end up helping the vet since he won’t bite me as hard.

    That is a chunk of wisdom right there. Applicable well beyond mere cats. This whole post could apply to politics.

    If your vet even gets in a situation where they’d “have to fight” your cat you probably wanna go to a different vet

      I mean, sometimes cats need care and the vet doesn’t really have time to gain their affection before poking them with a needle or prodding them all over. Not every cat is a fan of that, so sometimes you gotta deal with a cat who is trying very hard to claw your eyes out.

        If you can’t handle them without sedative then you can’t administer the sedative in the first place. If you can handle them well enough to give them a sedative shot then you could just give them the vaccine shot you wanted to in the first place

          I mean cats can be a lot harder to handle after you poke them. What if you need to give multiple vaccines? What if you need to draw blood? What if you need to touch other parts of their body to look for issues? What if you need to examine their mouth? Some cats will put up with it, some (a lot) will not. It’s a lot safer and less stressful for everyone if you just use a sedative when needed.
