10. You care about your kitty, and that caring will help you gain confidence with practice.

I've always worried about having to do this some day with my cat, he was a rescue cat, and has never done well with being held down for any reason. Getting him in the cat carrier requires hand and arm protection, it's almost impossible to give him his topical flea medication, there's no way he'd allow me to put a pill in his mouth.

I had another cat for 16 years who was docile as he is combative. I'll check back and see if you give a progress update down the road.

Good luck!
