I had seen a couple of different forumistes mention recently they do set blind-folds on their semiferales before bath or other touchy maneuvres. And voilá, they get totally passive.... Even better than wrapped up in a towel.
These blindfolds must surely be much useful in many of our situations.
Please, tell, how are you doing this? The practical details, I mean.
Please also, tell about your experiences.
I had seen this idea before. Masques made by a UK firm. Used by some veterinarians. I even had one home for try out. And tried this on my resident, but it was too complicated. I though, if it is too difficult on my friendly resident, so I cant use it on a scared semiferal.
Hunters who use birds of prey for hunting, also they do use blindfolds on their falcons and hawks.
when I trim Lucy's nails. She was getting so bad, biting and doing that ten claw grip of death on my arm that most cat owners know and dread. Now, I'm able to easily slip it on her and while she growls and tries to nip me, I'm able to hold her in my lap and handle all of her paws. What used to take days (1 nail at a time), now takes 2 minutes. It has been a great help for me. She sounds upset while it is on, but is calm after I've removed it.
