Decorating A Cat
While ferrets and dogs don’t seem to mind, there are certain things you need if you want your cat to join in a festive occasion.
Obviously any item must be sized accordingly, which usually means making them yourself. You need to have the backdrop ready so the cat doesn’t spend excessive time in the costume. Make sure the camera is ready and batteries are fully charged. Fully charged spare batteries are a good idea.
Oh, yes, you need to know your blood type and write it on your body with a permanent marker. Type AB positive is best because they are universal recipients. If you’re Type O negative you might want to re-think the entire concept.
Have your cell phone on your body and fully charged. Remember the One held down is the default speed dial number for 911. Don’t forget your insurance card.
Put the bandages, gauze pads, and tourniquet strap near you so that you won’t need much mobility to reach them. The old fashioned sanitary napkin makes an excellent pressure bandage for arterial bleeding.
If you are on good terms with your veterinarian, you might consider getting some tranquilizer tablets. Remember to give at least one to the cat.
Oh, don’t forget to clean the litter box before you begin. Most people don’t mind feeding the cat while you are indisposed but they usually draw the line at the litter box.
