Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
+1 to the neck drops for safety, my Norwegian Forest Cat is a big softie, but the last time I picked him up against his will I ended up hospitalised with shredded hands and arms

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Funnily enough, one of ours is a NFC and she's a dream to pill (so far). It's our night-terror moggy who is the dangerous one!

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I have an in joke with my vet. We carry the two carriers in while he asks how my Norwegian Forest cats are doing. They are black moggies. But on his wall he has the cat weight chart and the only breed that comes in at 7kg are the NFC so I claim that's what breed mine are to explain why they are so huge. They aren't fat, just panther like.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
All 3 of our cats are bigger than the dog, and aren't particularly nasty - the time I had to try and get the NFC picked up was following an accident and a trip to the vet was required - sod's law that as soon as I stopped trying to get him into the pet carrier he wandered in on his own
@ LPH - surely Maine Coons are around that weight too? Or maybe its just fur with them |

Considered this?
Not sure if it's true though, but could be worth a look. http://imgur.com/gallery/BJAtJRm Quote:

Can't find my Kindle of my wife's Kobo. Hmmm, where has the electrical fairy hidden them?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Scruffing them by hand is all very well, but a bulldog clip is far too strong to be humane (in my opinion). It also doesn't stop them from spitting the pills out the moment you let go.

This is accurate, it also doesn't really stop them from biting but if you can get it far enough down their mouth you may be alright Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
our vet used to give you a small syringe (without a needle) to fill with water, if you can get the pill in then the water squirt they have to swallow the pill - still doesn't stop major arm and hand damage, but he also said if you can get cat onto a shiny surface which they can't grip it stops a lot of the shennanagins
