At Feline Medical Center, ๐ฐ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ we believe NO ONE ever should.
Scruffing may have once been common, but ๐ฌ๐๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ and ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง have shown us better ways. Grabbing a cat by the scruff can cause ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐ง, spike ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐จ๐ง๐๐ฌ, and even lead to ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ -๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฆ ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ ๐, especially in adult cats. It can increase ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐๐จ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐, compress ๐๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐๐ฌ, and trigger the brainโs ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ณ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐.
Theyโre not calm, ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒโ๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐.
Weโre proud to be an ๐๐๐

๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐, which means weโre held to the highest standards in feline care. Our handling is built on ๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ, ๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐, and ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ : with towel wraps, soft voices, and plenty of ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ฌ.
We never use ๐๐๐๐ซ to gain control.
We never use ๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐ to manage behaviour.
We never scruff because your cat deserves ๐๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ.
