You got a job on animals?

You should give me tips on what to expect sometime. Or at least, how to not get bitten by angry cats, lol

Eesh! That's rough. At least it didn't pierce the bone.. are cats often trouble at your workplace? I've known a few belonging to friends who've been very aggressive.

I garduated from college in August. I am now a veterinary technician and I have been working at an animal shelter as my first job. 

Here’s my take on cats... 

Most of them are actually friendly and can be handled. However, there are are, of course, cats that are ferral or aggressive. The cat that attacked me was normally well- behaved but she became aggressive when cornered.

Having knowledge on how to properly restrain cats is very important. If you can’t get a hold of the cat (or any animal) yourself with those techniques, ask for help. You may need to capture the cat with another method; such as throwing a towel over them. The best advice I can give when dealing with a mean cat is to go slow and be patient.

We see a lot of aggressive cats at my workplace. I work at a shelter so a lot of the cats we get are ferral and not used to human contact.
