Fractious kitty!

As soon as a cat came into the ER, we tried to get cute with it to distract it, then someone would quickly clip the nails!
So many kitties didn't like the hourly temperature taking....

Well I'd be unhappy with how they take cats temperature if they did it to me too.

Actually despite the look on that cats face he was a good natured cat. But all our cats act as if we are performing surgery on them when we clip their nails. And find the darn nails under all their fur is a PITA.

Then giving them medicine. Now that is always fun.

Do you have a pill gun/stick?
Dogs would often wag their tail during temping. Not cats!

PS: I think Hill's® Prescription Diet® a/d® Canine/Feline was the best food for getting cats to swallow a pill, if that's a possibility. It's sort of like bacon fat!

Pills just don't work. Our vet mixes the stuff in a suspension with flavor and we can either mix it with food or squirt it down their throats. They always forgive us - eventually.

Pill-shooter for the win! Much better than trying to put it in butter; I can dose our cat solo if I wrap her up in a towel (about 80% success first try).

And make sure when you clip nails you are going top-to-bottom. Side to side is very painful for them - I really regret not knowing this for several years w/ our first cat, and things went much better after I wised up.

It actually turned out pretty good. She started with the easiest one..the Puppy Cut. But she left the bottom half done in the "pants" style of cut.

He looked pretty good for her first time.
My gf and I just did the same thing yesterday. And it also turned out pretty good for our first time. The tape is necessary he turns into a savage when he sees some dogs.

Onslow does that when in the car, except he tries to intimidate all dogs! We have to open his windows to save our ears. He stands on the armrest, and looks like he's about to jump out. It's pretty funny!
Below is a pic of Onslow trying to eat a Great Pyrenees.

I was going to the store real quick while mrs beef was taking the dogs for a walk and they hopped right in my smart car. It would have been a little crowded.

So if you decide that you are responsible enough to own a pet.....make sure you think it through and make sure you are dedicated.

My wife volunteers at some of our local rescue places. Someone's neighbor just outright abandoned their dog. Now it was picked up pretty quickly by another person when word got out...but it pisses me off.

I would have loved to had a word with them!!

But remember......if you don't look after our friends, John Wick will come and see you...or maybe even someone else.

Thanks. Both rescues. Marcus (skinny one) was abandoned in a field as a puppy. Whisper (the tank) was abused and turned in. We took her in as a foster and she took to us immediately. She still doesn't trust others, but is like a normal dog with us.

My wife also volunteers with a local rescue.

Thanks & good for you for rescuing.

As you know, GSDs don't always trust others; that's part of what they were bred for. But I bet they trust you and yours!
I have no good pics of GSDs, but below are Shiloh Shepherds, a long-haired variant being developed near Binghamton, NY.

Wish I could do that. Wife unit is not a dog person and taking in a rescue means understanding there might be bumps on the road. Good on ya for reaching out to an abused animal.

We ended up keeping her. Couldn't give her up. Lol she's a very sweet dog.

I was looking through pics and came across this old one of Beaux. He was about 4 months old. The 2 in the background were my moms.

The 2nd photo is of him at 16.5. The 27th of this month will be a year since we lost him.

Love seeing all the pets!

Little stud is growing up quick - 10 months old 80+lbs



And my little princess...





And I may have added a few guys to my tank - as I go through my 3rd major rebuild on this in 15 years.
For reference:
Clown Fish on the right I've had for 18+ years - were two of the first fish I bought
Yellow Tang on left, I've had for 16+ years.
Orange dwarf Angel in the middle top (and scopas swimming in the back) - 8 years come May

I'll leave the fishtank for another thread though.
