Easy fix-- any stick-like object will do for this game, all cats love the 'what's behind the curtain?' game.
That's cruel. If a cat is known to be aggressive for vet appointments, then a little xanax type of relaxer beforehand is in order.
My first Russian Blue boy had to be administered gas every time he went to the vet for an exam because his screaming, fighting, and hissing would frighten other clients out of the waiting room. However, he was a total baby with me.
OMG they make it sound like the cat attacked because she told it she was going to send it to it's room. This is not a child, the cat has no idea what she said only that the cat was already riled up and the owner picked it up. Don't do that. Instead a squirt bottle of water or one of those water shooter guns to disperse the offenders is appropriate. Ever try and break up a dog fight? Why would one think a cat fight is any different.

Well, suffering superficial claw marks is a direct translation of the term 'being a cat owner'.
I have had cats all my life and not once have any of them scratched me .
Sophie even allows me to trim her nails ( not that she does not run away
when she sees me get the scissors from the drawer .)
I am not sure I would keep a cat that I was afraid of .

Our old family cat was the nicest thing, but if we tried to cut his nails he'd go crazy. Thankfully, he didn't scratch the furniture or us, so we never really had the need to clip his nails.
My old Russian Blue let me cut his nails begrudgingly, but that's only because I started with he was a kitten.
My current DSH is a sweetheart and I have no doubt that he would let me cut his nails, but I don't feel the need to as he goes out of his way not to scratch people and doesn't scratch anything but his scratching post.

I know that my dogs understand words. If they are getting too rambunctious in the house and I say "Do you need to go to your crate?" they will stop and look at me with a big "No!!!" on their faces. The funny thing is, I haven't crated them in years, lol.
I think it's possible that the cat understood what it's owner was saying when she threatened to "Put it in its room". Animals are smarter than people give them credit for.

Only our vet can trim the cat's nails. We can't. We've tried. We've got the battle scars to prove it. No more. These guys go straight to the vet from now on. She makes it looks so easy.
Check out this fearless vet and technician. Despite the cat's psycho behavior, the vet finishes her exam, shots, weight and inspection of the cat's teeth. This is excellence at work, if ya ask me. LOL.

Even the vet can't trim the nails of the 16.5 year old cat that I recently adopted. Apparently this wasn't something her owner ever did or had done for her and she won't permit it. I tried the technique of flipping her gently upside-down in my lap as I do for my other cats, and she promptly started chewing on my left arm while I got a couple of her rear toenails. I gave up before I could get to the front claws. She may not have many teeth left, but her canines are pretty sharp.

During this and the other video, my Russian Blue female came into the room and stood between me and the PC to protect me from the mean cat inside it. I call her my little pitbull kitty.
