Hi, I am Dr Candy Olson, I own Greenbriar Animal Hospital. Now, were going to be going over a bunch of tips on how to take care of your cat. I have had this hospital for 15 years, and have been a veterinarian for almost 30 years. One of the things that you want to be careful about with doing things with cats is that you have to practice it first. Cats are really good at noticing when you dont know what youre doing. So, you want to practice it, so youre not fumbling, and then go and get your cat and do stuff with them. You also want to be a little careful about safety. Some of these things that were going to be showing you not all cats will be amenable to it, and even us pros cant do these things with all cats. So, watch your cat for signs that theyre getting uncomfortable or upset. Big things there, cats are subtle with their body language, so you want to look for a little twitching of the tail, ears down a little bit like this, or if youre looking at their face, like youre trying to give them medicine or putting stuff in their eyes, look for dilated pupils. If cats are hissing or swatting at you, youve gone way too far, stop and backtrack a little bit. So, the idea is to get them accustomed to these things before you get that far. As far as tips and everything, if you any questions dont hesitate to call your veterinarian. Lets go ahead and get started with your cat tips.
