Feeling rushed? Feel like you need to dump that cat out of the carrier, slap the cat up onto the examination table, and just get your exam done? Think again! In the world of cats, the lightest touch is the strongest hold. Understanding feline fear and pain is the first step in moving toward Cat Friendly handling, in order to get that full physical examination completed without rush or restraint. This session will focus on understanding how cats see their world and how they perceive threats. Utilizing that understanding, we will explore how to achieve a successful Cat Friendly feline visit.
