The cat: part 2
First off thanks to everyone who commented in the previous post. It's much appreciated!!
Part 2: during one pilling session, he fought like a wildcat, then, because his back was to my chest, he slammed his head up and smacked me in the face, drawing blood with one fang. Fortunately it was just one single hole. I make it a point to wear my glasses so I don't lose an eye!
So, pilling is, er, difficult...We're grinding up the pill and injecting it with water into mouth. Still a nasty process, but less chance of being bitten again.
The subQ, however, is placing cat on ironing board, grabbing skin, sticking needle in (he made a brief noise and attempted to bolt but then settled down).
I must admit Iet my brother the former EMT do the honors of jabbing it, although I am going to have to do it.
Odd that stabbing cat with needle is easy, but prying open the mini Jaws from hell is difficult. Aieee...
