It’s most definitely a cat, I took the photo. The netting pushes the cat flat, look at the nose and whiskers.
This is an EZ Nabber, one of the few products I am prepared to directly endorse on this blog, because it’s saved my face and arms on numerous occasions.
It’s like a steel framed set of square jaws filled with netting in between, allowing you to close them over any hissing ball of claws and retribution safely, whether it’s still inside the typical cat carrier, in a hospital cage, or behind a washing machine.
The hurricane of fury and teeth may then settle comfortably in the stretchy netting, where we can still see it and even pat it in a condescending manner while calling it a sweet kitty. You can give a vaccine through the netting before opening the jaws back over the cat carrier to deposit the cat with ‘dignity’, or in this case jab the angry thing’s backside full of sedative so we can actually do our job.
