      if dey were more aggressive, ai probably wouldn’t lyke it…

    • nightshayde says:

      If dere iz a long lien uv animlols to be seen or if dere iz merjenseez going on, ai kin unnerstand #1. Ai wud liek #2 beddur, tho.

    • Ai wood purrfur opshun 2. but if the HS haz teh big buzzee ai can see where opshun 1 may be necessaree sumtiems.

    • Jenn says:

      #2 is the ideal.

      #1 tends to be reality, especially if people are in a hurry.

    • 3kittymomma says:

      i still wundering how tu take control of kitteh an make them know they nawt git awai wif ennithing. i haz nebber seen that wif mine kittehz. they control awl.

      • BOM_MOMME says:

        A lot depends on how they act towards me. I know that seems wrong, but when I am comfortable with the Vet and tech, I am much less likely to notice small movements. Our Vet (40+ in practice and had the highest GPA in the history of Iowa State University – one of the best vet schools in the country ) is so good at talking and examining that the exam and the “scruff hold” isn’t that obvious. The cats and dog seem to know who’s in control but wont hurt them unnecessarily.

        • BOM_MOMME says:

          Also, our vet’s techs come in first and ask questions and pet the kids so they have a chance to calm down so they are ready for the Vet.

        • AngelPlume says:

          Is rekwirz a delikat balans between teh firmness ob ur desire (whut u want teh kitteh to do or nawt do) adn teh lubbing feelings u has fur teh kitteh. U need tu has boff at teh saym tym – ai lubs u but derz no way ur gettin away wiff dat – as well as bein totalee truthful (kittehs kno wen ur lyin).
          .
          Teh approach ai tuk, fur egzampul wen ai want tu brush Angie but she no want, is to sho hur dat derz no eskayp. Nowayr she can run dat ai cant fynd hur, nowayr she can hyd dat will prevent teh brushing frum happenin.
          .
          She wud try tu run wun way, ai wud antisipayt adn nok hur daon. She wud try to fyt, adn ai wud pin her daon wiffowt regard fur teh poyntee ends. She wud try tu byt adn ai wud stik teh finger furver daon tu mayk hur chok. Ebenshulee she sitz daon adn sez, ok ai getz it. Du ur wurst. So ai mayk teh brushing as gentul adn kwik as possibul, den gib hur treets afferward. Ober tym she duznt bovver fyting enee moar adn respeks mai auforitee.

    • tessm says:

      ai noes ai haz trayned mai own kittehs that they will nebber win teh battlols wiv mee, aifinkso lyke #1. ;) but that iz at hoam, wiv mee.
      is a chancs (minimal purrhapz) that #1 cud result inna injuree to teh kitteh, tho. if panicked kitteh iz despurrate enuff, cud hurt itself whyle trying to get away. mai DH’s cuzzin had a small goggie whut leeped owt uv a top kennel an fell onna floor — forchunatlee nuffin seerius happin to goggie in that cayse.

      • AngelPlume says:

        Ai has taken teh saym path (dont try tu fite – ai can awlwayz win), but has bin reluktant tu say so sins teh genrul feeling seems tu be kittehs cannot be traynd.

        Ahm glad ahm nawt teh ownlee wun hoo insists awn sum lebel ob awforitee. Ai fink it wud awlso mayk teh kitteh moar abul tu gib in tu teh auforitee ob anuvver, lyk teh vet, sins teh kitteh has alreddee gibben in befoar.

    • AngelPlume says:

      Ai fink ai wud prefur sumwun inbetween doze egstreemz, but kloser tu #2 den tu #1.
      .
      Kitteh duz nawt need tu bond wiff vet, but duz need tu aksept bein handuld. Der shud be enuff awforitee establishd up frunt tu aboid habin tu struggle for control fruowt, but awlso sensitibitee adn awarness ob teh kitteh’s emoshunal stayt wiffowt takin tu mush tym fur cuddlz adn stuff frum a stranger dat mite ownlee mayk an unwanted bisit eben lawnger.
      .
      Wen ai tuk Isis der tu figgur owt wut wuz rong, teh vet let me keep a hand on her hed tu keep hur calm. So wen we wuz discussin wut she wuz finding, ai wuz gibbin Isis skritches tu keep hur calm, adn lyk dat bak adn forf. Isis dint lyk to be handuld, but trusted me, so between my komfort adn teh vet’s egspertees it wurkd owt well fur awl.

    • ai trais tu splain.
      We’re using the animals at the HS to practice on, but we’re also supposed to be making life a little better for them, giving them some extra attention, watching for behavioural or health issues that should be noted.
      Our normal teacher is of the school of thought that with cats, minimal restraint is best, and you ramp it up as necessary — you can turn a friendly cat into a demon by scruffing them unnecessarily. This approach works well for me. I can, in fact, do a physical exam on a cat completely alone, rather than our usual pairs, something that I think impressed my normal teacher. I automatically respond to the cat’s mood without even thinking about it, to make sure what’s necessary gets done with everyone safe, cat included, but I don’t use any more than I must.
      My usual partner is very much a dog person, and of course with dogs, you establish that you’re alpha and they’re not. She admits she finds cats puzzling, although she likes them. she tends not to allow for time for calming/cuddling breaks for the cat, just wants to “get it done.”
      Today we had a replacement for our teacher — she’s great, we have her for another class, but she’s more of the farmer-ish school of thought, that all animals need to know that they can’t get away with anything and they’ll just have to deal with it. She’s not mean or impatient or rough, just rather direct.
      It seemed like all the cats were nuts today, even a friendly cuddly one. It was really starting to bug me, especially the pair who kept right on examining a cat who was screaming, yowling, thrashing, had been muzzled, and they were trying to get this lovely calico into a cat-bag. she wasn’t on the list as needing an exam, it was just a standard physical. The noise, of course, upset every other cat in the room… and our teacher did nothing until after the rest of us had simply given it up as a lost cause and returned our cats to their kennels.
      But the bit that really got me was at the end. My partner was looking for a cat to practice restraints on, one that would be quiet and easygoing. She chose one I TOLD her not to take… it was the one I did the solo exam on a couple of weeks ago. I wrote in his chart, everywhere possible, that he’s NOT moody like someone else said, he just doesn’t like being cornered between two people and manhandled. CC knows what he might’ve been though, he came from a household with at least a dozen other cats.
      She went and got him anyway. He was okay while she was practicing. I just stayed out of the way and did some microscope stuff, so as not to crowd him. She didn’t notice the ears starting to go back during restraints, or the tailtip, or the pupils, and she wouldn’t have listened if I told her.
      Then the teacher came over and asked my partner to show her three diffrerent restraints. And the ears went out sideways and back, and he growled, and neither paid the slightest attention. He was on a table between them.
      But she did the restraints.
      Then the teacher told me to come show her what I know.
      He was already upset, the poor baby, and not only were the teacher and I bracketing him, but my partner was right there watching too. It isn’t his fault he bit me hard enough to make my finger bleed. :( He didn’t deserve to have her yoink him away from me like he was going to maul the BC out of me, I had him still and he would have relaxed as soon as I eased up on the restraint.
      Why the heck did she either ignore or not notice that he was winding up to freak out? Why was she calling the lovely little tortie we had first a b*tch (only half jokingly) because she was scared and I never got enough time between steps in the exam to calm her more than halfway?
      We’re supposed to be caring for these animals, but every cat that came into our room today went back to its cage upset and stressed and NOT in better shape than they were in beforehand.
      And it’s… just… not right, somehow. :( I understand needing to be efficient and get all animals seen, but this was just a mess.

        [/lolspeak]
        Thank you for explaining the whole thing, Prysma. I was a little concerned that someone wasn’t being as gentle with Eva as he/she should be.

        That said — since there was clearly no rush in this situation & everyone was “practicing” kitty skills, I now clearly see why you were disturbed by the behavior, and I’m sure I would have been disturbed in the same manner.

        It sounds to me that you have some sort of natural gift for “reading” & dealing with kitties — a gift that others in the profession might not have. Can you consult with the regular teacher & share your feelings of uneasiness? The very question you asked us might prove for a healthy discussion in class — the balance between time-management & nurturing … and also maybe the differences between dealing with cats and dealing with dogs.

        [lolspeak]
        U duzzint hasta aplologize fur sharin stuff, eben if itz lawng, Prysma.

      • Elsa_Mama says:

        You are of course absolutely right PK. Especially with these poor kitties — they should be erring on the side of gentle, not treating them like unfeeling test cases. As you realize, most of them will have had bad experiences and should not be traumatized further.

        I disagree that dogs need to be told who is alpha in an exam — the same techique should be used on dogs as you talked about with the cats. My 6 year old Springer will let anyone do anything to her, as long as they do not try to physically restrain her. If they do she WILL fight and she is a very strong dog. Hold her leg nice and she will watch you put the needle in and get blood, hold her down and you can’t even cut her nails.

        She never starts any fight, but believe you me, she will finish each and every one that is brough to her, people or dogs.

        I stopped going to one vet becaue it is their “policy” to restrain all dogs. They say it is for “safety.”

        Unfortunately time is money and for some vets that is what is most important.

        • Sowree, nawt meened goggies shud be restrained automatiklee — goggies awl diffrint an indibijooals, tu. Just diffrint mentalitee frum kittehs, wif teh pak mentalitee an awl.
          Enny vet whu onlee fink uv munnies iz nawt a gud vet.

      • keshet says:

        I think it winds up taking longer if you don’t take the time to be patient with cats. It’s often the same with kids. Sorry you and the kittehs had a hard day. I hope tomorrow is better!

    • glf says:

      #2 would also be more likely to calm the human too if necessary (that’s what I think anyway). That’s how my current and past vets have been; they take the time to pet and praise my cats while doing exams and other things.
