Cat burrito, purrito, whatever you want to call it as long as it works!
With some patients, less restraint can be more effective. Learn from Technician Assistant Amy Lacey, and staff cat Murray, about using the “purrito” method for restraining a #cat.

To all the comments: this cat is Murray, he has had no sedation, I promise. He is a very good boy and extremely shy, his main line of defense is to flatten his body to the table and not move a muscle hoping nobody will see him. I am the girl making the video, Murray is a cat I rescued from a feral cat rescue in Salem, OR. He lived there from 8wks-10mo, nobody adopted him in all that time beacuase he was always glued to the back of his kennel scared sick- this was misinterpreted as unpredictability and aggression. He is the most gentle cat I have ever met and doesn't have a mean bone in his body. I used him for this video so I could go really slow and go demonstrate l the steps clearly. Also, these videos are prearranged so that the film crew and person in the video are in the hospital at the same time. The chances of having an actual patient needing the same thing at the same time that also has photo consent from the owner is very unlikely for these types of demonstrations; hence why most of our videos have compliant animals, they are our own animals most of the time. Thank you all for watching and please know that I have used this technique countless times and it keeps everyone safe, most of all the patient!

Thank you for going slow! If you don’t mind me asking a further question, I don’t have a cat mask or anything, is there any way I can burrito a cat to cover their face? I have at least three scars from two nail sessions from this one cat I’m working with, and his main method of attack is biting and holding on. He’s not even my cat, I’m doing this as a favor, and his owner is sick so I feel bad giving up.

You are totally right, the kitty in the video is Murray, the best cat in the world. I used him so I could go slow and show everyone the technique. However, when you become a cat handling pro, this is actually a pretty smooth process, just gotta be quick😉

My cat had a vet here last year because I could not get her into a carrier. She nearly demolished my bathroom where she was locked away, so he could catch her. Anyway, long story short; she managed to get out when I opened the door to see what all the racket was about and the chase was on in the loungeroom! She will not allow herself to be restrained by anybody and she would be out of a towel in two seconds flat! Think twice when you take on a previously traumatised rescue cat!

Respectfully, your prep for the subcut including the cat mask is going to be harder than just giving the subcut alone without. This video shows very clear steps, but I think a second video of how that applies to a struggling, squirming cat is a complementary must-have.

I love to watch people who are really professional and have skills like this. Such a contrast to many office jobs where often the only skillset seems to be brownnosing and blagging! I have been using this technique for putting eye ointment into the eyes of two kittens with pink eye. It's the only way to do it with these too! I also find it works best if the kittens are half-asleep, then you can get the stuff into their eyes almost without waking them up!

My cat would never sit still for that. She'll sit on my lap if I'm sitting down, but she won't even let me pick her up. She struggles to get down. If I do anything more than pet her when she is laying down, she will jump and run. And the head restraint, I'd be sure to lose a finger or two trying to put that on her. LOL
