No, your eyes are not fooling you, yes, that is a cat in a Police harness and lead…🚓
Topaz finds being in cat carriers extremely stressful; to the point where he open mouth breaths (which is abnormal for cats unlike dogs), salivates from nauseousness, and even soils himself. This is why Topaz’s mum brings him in to see us on a harness and lead, just like a dog🐾.
Topaz is so much more at ease during his visits, and enjoys having a walk around the practice! If we see that any dogs are about to come in, we make sure Topaz is out of sight of course, though he usually likes to explore our consult rooms or out the back in our prep room! We will always advocate to minimise stress for our patients🤎.
