Realizing that sedating a cat is always going to be an issue with some people. Completely your choice. But it is also completely my choice not to work on a cat that is not sedated because of aggression. Cats are not like working with dogs which is why many groomers do not want to work on cats because they can be dangerous and inflict severe wounds. I have many scars on my my arms and hands. Gabapentin is a great solution that veterinarians started using several years ago. It is your choice not to sedate, if you don't want to. You can certainly have your veterinarian groom your cat for you. In my opinion, anesthetizing is far harder on an animal than giving them gabapentin.
