ROFLMAO!
When I worked at the vet’s office, I used to hold all sorts of dogs when she did procedures without concern. She NEVER even let us hold cats, they have weapons on every end and they will use them! I do remember one cat who cat really riled up when the vet was doing something (I don’t recall what, but not something any worse than a vaccination or drawing blood) and the cat managed to get out of her hands and raced up her body to the top of her head, where she sat and urinated on the vet’s head! It was funnier because it wasn’t my head.... ;)

My daughter works as a vet tech, and when they get even a slightly riled-looking pussycat, the call goes out:

BRING THE CAT BAG!

It looks like a little mini-straitjacket with zippers all over it. You insert the cat in the bag, strap him down, and then unzip the zipper nearest to the part to be treated.

I used to help my vet draw blood from my 15 pound Attack Siamese, mostly because none of the techs particularly wanted to mess with him . . . we would put him headfirst into the Cat Bag, tighten the straps, and then pull one hind leg out and zip the bag closed around it. I held the bag (you have to imagine it bouncing around as though THREE cats inside are using it for a punching bag) while the vet drew blood from the big vein on the inside of the thigh.

Boy was that fun! (he really was a nice cat, to me anyway, he just HATED the vet. Bad things happened there.)

BTW, I am howling here! I have had cats use me for a ladder, but never had one pee on me when he got to the top!
