Teh kitteh-it scratched me

[Frozen Sooner]

:(

Ted, the younger cat, broke a back claw off last week. Don't know how he did it, but it's completely gone-all that's left is the knuckle, which is gross and apparently pretty painful.

Anyhow, since it seemed to be hurting him more as the week wore on, I took him to the vet yesterday afternoon. For the next week I have to put ointment on his knuckle and feed him antibiotics twice a day.

Yeah. I'm cut to ribbons now.

Don't mind me, I'll just sit in the corner and bleed. Anyone have a good suggestion on how to calm the cat down to give him his meds? I'm about this close to trying a hammer.

Why not just get a falconeer's arm sleeve for protection.

You already thought of my solution.

Cats have knuckles?

The nail isn't necessary for a good stew.

Good point. The little bastard weighs 16 pounds-there's some good eatin' on him.

[Frozen Sooner]

Cats have knuckles?

Yes. The knuckle is what the claw attaches to, and it's what they cut off when they declaw a cat.

srsly

are they pills or liquid. My cat likes to rip me to shred if it is a pill, but she is much better if it's a liquid. I basically sit on her so she can't move and make her take her medicine.

[Frozen Sooner]

It's a liquid-I just fill up the syringe and shoot it in his mouth. The big struggle is putting on the ointment, 'cause he REALLY doesn't want me touching that foot.

oops, wrong thread :D

[soonerinabilene]

a couple of bourbon and cokes should do the trick

[OUAndy1807]

try wrapping him in a towel first . you'll have to sneak up when he figures out your game, but it takes away his squirminess, which is really what makes giving them any medication hard.

You know, I guess I didn't realize how big Ted was getting. He's the little one, and hes 16 flippin' pounds. I need to put Steve on a scale one of these days.

I don't have cats. I have Ottomans.

[soonerbrat]

are they bobcats?

[Frozen Sooner]

I think I'm gonna need a bigger bow.

No kidding. Al says he hates when the internet attributes racist/suggestive/pornographic songs to his name.

Why not just get a falconeer's arm sleeve for protection.

Yeah! Easy to come by. I'm sure I saw a whole rack o' doze at WallyMart just the other day.
I think they were on sale! (Made in Upper Pakkawackistan, though, by enslaved children of blind prostytoots. Sad.)
Or maybe I saw them next to the microwave burritos at Ah Pu's convenience store.

Mike, my suggestion is either grab some heavy gloves like for use outdoors or keep a pair of welding gloves handy...dem big cats shred the **** out of me when we had ours.

Now we have a dog, life is much simpler now. :D
