In the video he says “if you’re trying to hold a cat down, whether it’s to trim their nails, or give them a pill……squish your cat. Top loading cat carriers discourage providing support to the lower half of the cat which is a point I wish to make. I must add, though, that this may happen when the cat’s owner removes their cat from the cat carrier if it opens at the top. They carry their cat without supporting the rear half. It doesn’t surprise me that this veterinarian, whose name is Dr Uri Burstyn, not infrequently encounters clients who mishandle their cat in the consulting room. As I said, they live in a land of giants which by default can make even the most loving domestic cat a little bit anxious sometimes. Everything should be done with sensitivity because cats can get a little bit jittery.

GiantsĪs humans are much bigger than cats we can tend to use our superior strength inappropriately so gentleness should be the byword. I don’t know for sure but they like gentle pressure. I think it goes back to the newborn kitten and perhaps being in the womb or when being nursed with his litter mates. Placing a harness on a cat also has a similar effect on cat behavior. There is a product on the market called the Thunder Shirt which is based upon this principle. I tend to agree with him because applying gentle pressure to a cat is comforting. He applies downward pressure to a cat on his consulting table at his clinic as a restraint. He does use the word “gentle” once during the video but he uses the word “squish” far more often. Using the phrase “apply gentle pressure” might be better. Young people might be encouraged to apply too much pressure to their cat. It’s the use of the word “squish” which I think is poorly chosen.
