thank you and unfortunately, she is incorrect on "what will happen? you're gonna get all stratched up. . ." if you had looked at my experience - doesn't always happen and the machine idea still is inhumane. sorry but I had to let people know not all cats are mean or all hate water.
and so what? I am a RVT too - worked with 16 vets for three years now but that doesn't mean I know everyone's experiences almost well .. and having more than 10 cats for more than 8 years contributes better experiences than being a vet/vet tech. it's about one, how much one understands the cat...
