Deactivating a cat.

A vet showed me that trick - not with a binder clip but just pick them up by the scruff of their neck. It's how I get my evil trio into the carrier when I need to take them somewhere.

I need to try that with our evil trio in the morning when they wake me to get fed at 5AM!

Every cat owner knows that trick. It's called "clipnosis". Some folks use a couple of clothes pins. They even sell clips made specifically for clipnosis.

The thought of using a binder has never occurred to me.

Sure, you can try that on mine. I get to watch. hehe.

Actually it works pretty well on those that haven't gone totally evil.
I've never done the clip, but the scruff of the neck works. I guess they remember from kittenhood or something.

Wonder if it'll work while you clip their hair.

I guess it won't work on you then.

that looks so much more humane than my taser method.

thanks.

Domanation behavior. Tom cats grip the scruff of the female ( in heat) to make them submit to mating.

Momma cats scruffing kittens..same behavior..kittens stop moving, go limp and assume a passive behavior. Momma cat can now carry kitten safely!
