What they both said above. I've had to give Mishi Sub-Q's many times and it's quite easy. Somehow they know you're doing something good for them and at least my Mishi, he just lays there and purrs while the fluid drips in. I like the between-my-legs method. Makes it easy for me to hold him there and hang onto the needle to make sure it doesn't come loose. Caution if it does, you'll have liquid all over the place - it pumps out pretty quickly. Good luck. I know the thought of putting a needle into your beloved kitty is scary, but they really do not have any nerves at the back of the neck so it's pretty painless for them. The feeling of something cool coming into their body may be strange and they may flinch, just gently hold your kitty and you'll do fine.
