    I read on a CRF site that if you FREEZE the needle BEFORE you insert it into the cat, it makes the insertion easier. I did that and it did work. YOU SHOULD HAVE A BOX OF MALLOMARS!!!!!!!!!!

    That is interesting! I'll have to try it but I wonder if the cold needle will make Ripley jerk and squirm more?
