Kitty Burrito

You know when you're at the vet's and the technician takes Fluffy out of the office to do whatever it is they need to do and you can hear that Fluffy is not a happy camper and after 10 minutes the technician and Fluffy return to the room and while Fluffy hisses and struggles to get away by any means necessary and the sweating technician smiles serenely and says Fluffy was an angel and tries to hide the bleeding scratches on her hands and arms?

 

Well... here's an inside secret. Some cats are actually NOT angels at the vet's and so they get wrapped into kitty burritos to even out the odds just slightly. We're bigger but cats come with 18+ claws and razor-sharp, bacteria-covered teeth and they're not afraid to use them. Burritoing a cat means we only have to worry about the razor-sharp, bacteria-covered teeth!

 

Fun fact: Serafina, the cat pictured above, is actually a male but 16 years ago a little girl wanted a girl kitten and her family obliged and asked us to keep up the ruse and we have ever since.

 

Apollo update: For the past three days Apollo has shown enough interest in food to eat a few treats and around 10-15 dry kibbles. Not much but a step in the right direction.
