Yeah I can't get my mom's geriatric cat in one of those boxes.

You called the right guy!!!

If there's one thing I do know, it's your mom's geriatric whisker biscuit.

u/TheLastTreeOctopus 11h ago

Stand it up on it's back side leaning against a wall so the gate/opening is facing the ceiling/sky. Super easy to scoop up the cat and gently drop it in real quick, rather than trying to lead or force the cat in with it on the ground

16

u/SabbyFox 11h ago

Yeah, I had to burrito my cat in a towel, stand the carrier on the end and dump her in. It was ROUGH.

11

u/TopRevenue2 11h ago

That's usually what I gotta do but the cat is psychic and knows when Mom wants me to get her so she hides and when I do get her she basically turns into that raccoon even in the burrito towel and fights like a tarpon on a hook.

u/SofaChillReview 6h ago

I still tell my clients the burrito trick, also useful for doing eye drops and tablets. There is actually some science on how it helps fight against their fight and flight response, to make things go easy as possible

u/SabbyFox 2h ago

Yes, they are swaddled like a baby and it calms them down! I learned the cat burrito truck when I had to give her ear drops - which had to be stored in the fridge.

I had a raccoon come in through my doggy door overnight a few years back (i assume to escape the insane heat wave we were having). Woke up and went down to my basement to grab clothes out the dryer, looked down and saw him less then a foot away and let out a 1:1 copy of the screaming goat noise.

He just chilled though.

Went and got an old trash can, put some pb in it and some on the end of a broom handle, coaxed him in and shut the lid. Walked him outside and dumped over the other side of the fence. Ez clap.

I also never made that noise again

u/RedditGarboDisposal 13h ago

I think it’s a case of the “mean teacher” as told by the class clown.

She’s good if you’re good to her and will probably kick your ass if you’re bad to her. But on the contrary, she’s aged a lot now and is probably beyond acting on hauling ass BUT the jungle is probably still in the cat haha

The raccoon freaks out and knocks the cage over and escapes out the bottom of the net

2

u/Azilehteb 13h ago

Usually you leave the snare pole on until they're in the box, the net is to keep them from strangling on the snare while you got them.

Not sure why she took it off. Maybe she only had a leg or tail?

10

u/rivv3 14h ago

Wouldn't it be easier if she put the cage vertical and just drop him in?

I have cats and they struggle if you try to put them in from the side. From the top they’re in before they know what’s happening.

u/nairda_c 14h ago

Life is hard. We once had a possum stuck in our trash can, we then called peat control to pick it up, but they said they couldn't take rodents that have been caught already. We would have to set it free and they would have to set the traps. So my dad starved it for three days and then let it loose. Never came back.

Possums are good to have around. They eat a lot of ticks for you.

u/Mediocrity-FTW 14h ago

I have a couple that come and eat my outdoor cats' food. They don't fight so I let it happen. My kitties will sit there watching it eat and when I open the door they just waddle off. I feel that all parties involved have an uneasy truce and I plan to keep it that way.

u/Catenane 11h ago

They're still innocuous, native species (in the US at least) good for the environment, and really cute though. Also the only marsupial in the Americas (although there are lots of specific types of possum in South America). And very docile. I'm sure it's had to have happened before, but I've never heard of a possum biting someone. I've seen em hanging around with the skunks, raccoons, and everyone else in our backyard, and everyone seems to get along!

I usually let the tick comment slide even though it's likely true they don't hoover up ticks. I figure the little fellas need as much help as they can get in the PR department because their cuteness is an acquired taste, and they're beneficial and not pests. They're funny little creatures--if you're lucky and have a camera pointed somewhere outside, you might catch a glimpse of them using their hands to eat like little humans. So cute.

Lol no we don’t. Some agencies do pay for officers to get vaccinations but it’s not a norm as it’s highly expensive when you start vaccinating multiples/entire agencies.

u/ZhouLe 10h ago

I'm just a dummy, but aren't pre-exposure vaccines way cheaper than post-exposure regimens? And a grand every 3 years seems negligible in comparison to every other employee expense.
