Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2008Cat bag...
I bought a cat bag for Felix. Some of you know he's my tuxedo cat that is going deaf. I had to get the bag b/c I'm having an awful time when he needs drops in his ears, and he's never been too good when it's time for a pedicure. I'd like to hear positives and negatives regarding the bag from folks that have used one, or is still currently using one. TIA!!

Is this cat bag something that only allows the head to be out? Think I saw one once. >I bought a cat bag for Felix. Some of you know he's my tuxedo cat that is >going deaf.

One of my cats has chronic renal failure and must have sub-cutaneous fluids administered every other day. Cindy dislikes being held at the best of times but she was _really_ upset when being held involved getting stuck with a big needle, too! I was getting desperate and got one of those zip-up bags to see if it would help. I only had to use it once! After getting her all tussled up in that straitjacket once, Cindy seems to have decided that she'll behave for her meds rather than going through that again. It wasn't that easy to get her in there in the first place and, although she was calm while being restrained, it really did seem to hurt her feelings being treated like that.

My boy died from this last month. I was too late in discovering how sick he was and it was way too late to start home injections of fluids. I hope you have a long long long time with Cindy left. {{HUGS}} Instead of subjecting your cat to ear drops, ask your vet for revolution. One application (between the shoulders) should kill the ear mites as well as any fleas or ticks. ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') Instead of subjecting your cat to ear drops, ask your vet for revolution. One application (between the shoulders) should kill the ear mites as well as any fleas or ticks. Ummm, the ear drops are for the tumors in his ears. He's going deaf because of this. The drops help prolong the inevitable. All 4 of my furkids are indoor only cats. I haven't seen an earmite since Oscar was a baby. Eight years ago!! (So hard to believe)!!

At the shelters we used several things to hold them in place mostly it was brute force. We used Kevlar gloves with Kevlar arm sleeves that protected all the way past the elbow. We tried the bag many of times but when a cat that had to be treated multiple times saw the bag it was usually a problem than I adopted something when holding a cat I saw it on animal police once where he took the back leg and put it up higher than the body. It kept them calmer. It put them in a funky situation where they were not used to it keep them off their guard.
