"And in this the Lord showed me something small, no bigger than a hazelnut, lying in the palm of my hand. . .In this little thing I saw three properties. The first is that God made it, the second is that God loves it, the third is that God preserves it." Julian of Norwich

I think any of the martyrs who were lashed should be the patron saint of those of us who have to administer said medication to the cat. Daniel in the lion's den doesn't count because he came out unscathed!
Yes, my forearm looked like it had posed for a St. Sebastian painting after a particular vet trip just before Christmas.
There's real possibility here.
I think Hootie arranged a deal with the vet. Let's hold off on those eye drops so when they get back home I can get my aggressions out while pretending to fight over meds. :-)
I dunno about appropriate saints (I like the lashed martyrs idea). I was thinking that you ought to get some serious arm protection like... like falconers wear! A really heavy leather gauntlet or two ought to do the trick to protect your forearms. Would heavy, long gloves for rose gardeners (against thorns) do the trick?
Tryin' ta be helpful here, lol.
So it turns out the answer is: I hold the cat, husband puts in the eye drops.
Wrapping the cat in a towel or small blanket serves to calm it. I use the method to trim my cat's nails, and have not been scratched yet.
