How to do a cat swaddle (aka kitty burrito) 

He’s so grumpy but this is so helpful

err mine doesnt wanna stay even long enough to wrap her xD

This is wonderful if the cat will allow you to pick it up! @5/6 yrs ago, a starving, distressed cat appeared at my home, now she is a sweet indoor/outdoor kitty. Evidently, her owner (a neighbor, whom I barely knew) died, leaving her abandoned, poor girl, & she half reverted to a feral state. She refuses to be picked up & we can't get her to the vet! (Fortunately, "neighbor" obviously had her spayed.) We have owned cats for 40 yrs & have ALWAYS provided them with proper vet care/immunizations. We feel guilty and distressed. But, thanks for showing this method.

My cat had a happy trip to and from the vet because of you. Thank you!

My cat sees the towel and suddenly knows how to teleport. Preferably to where I cannot reach her. This was great though. Thanks.

Appreciate their true dedication😢🙀💔. Suggest the following for poor trauma-drama kitties and their handlers: 1-prep w/lotsa cat nip (if no contraindications). 2-constant coo'ing & sweet talk, while you "swaddle" (hug) the cat firmly in a thick towel (aka kitty burrito). And pet their head & sweet talk them until the work is done. It's an ancient humane practice. When they really can't move, they relax much more. Much easier for everyone, and less chance of injury & trauma, for cat and handler. It makes any compassionate practitioner's stressful job less stressful, more rewarding. 🌿😻💚🐈🌿

I love his chatting.

This is completely different for a cat that's anxious as hell and won't sit still How do you do it for them

THIS is just about the easiest version out there for what I need to see repeatedly after my vet's wife/assistant showed me how ...Got to put antibiotic ear med into each ear for once a day .. everyday until I have consumed two tubes .. Then additionally.. she showed me how to firmly keep the cat's back legs part in b/w my thighs while sitting down and holding the cat by the scruff of its neck while administering the drops pn each ear as quickly as possible.

my kitten pushes his legs out so far it's impossible to get the burrito wrapped up with any degree of snugness w/o feeling like hurting him by forcing his legs close in to his body. any suggestions on this? And then i have to ~ firmly hold his mouth closed and do the neck rub thing to get him to swallow and about half the time the foaming happens anyways cuz he's resiting swallowing even with the nose blow.

Kitty burrito :3

Does this swaddling method allow for vaccines?

Any cat that doesn't like to be swaddled will be able to get out of that in two seconds.

Thank you I will use this knowledge for evil (to annoy my cat).

OMG unfortunately this is NOT how you swaddle my cat 🤣. First, better make sure towel is laid out and ready before he sees it, otherwise he will run and hide and game over. He’s normally 15 lbs of big sweet Maine Coon, but he does not want to be a burrito. Ever. He is also very muscular with extra large claws and teeth. You have to strike like a ninja, grab him and get those claws all pressed down firmly into the towel and quickly wrap him tight keeping his face and teeth away. He’s going to be struggling with all his strength to get out, like a live gator burrito while caterwauling with kitty death threats to you. Now you hold him firm while with free hand and lots of freaking luck hold open his ear and apply ear drops. (Or whatever must be done) The gator does not want ear drops. Afterwards you release him, he glares at you and you check to see how badly you’re bleeding. But first you give him treats so next time might possibly be easier. You also contemplate using a tranquilizer dart gun next time, while you get the peroxide and bandaids. This is love.

i didnt know this worked on adult cats, i thought it only worked on kittens

nemo always gets one arm out, and you're done!
