We had a tech once that had a way with difficult animals, and one of our cats would go in screaming and yowling and hissing. She knew about using a big blanket to lift or wrap them up, and being calm with them and she was pretty good about getting things done with him. When he'd start carrying on, she'd respond like it was a conversation. The cat would say "Yowl" and she'd say "I know, I think so too", the cat would then hiss and she would say very matter of factly "Really? I did not know that", the cat would hiss again and she'd say "I don't think this is the time for 'two guys walk into a bar jokes', do you?" By this time, the cat had stopped cussing and subdued himself.As one of my vet's assistants so famously said when told Hekitty was there for an appointment... OH GOD!
I am SO in touch! This is why Hekitty now weighs 11 pounds, and is on a diet...sorta.
