Best Answer

To give a cat an IM, or intramuscular injection, position the cat on their right side, pressing hind legs against the table or floor, and holding her head immobile with your left hand. Insert the needle into the fleshiest part of the thigh. Pull slightly back on the plunger to make sure you do not draw blood. If no blood, proceed with the injection by pushing down on the plunger. If there is blood, reinsert the needle into a different spot.

How should one hold a cat for an injection?

To hold a cat for an injection, gently restrain the cat by placing one hand under its chest and the other hand over its back. Make sure to hold the cat securely but not too tightly to avoid causing discomfort. It may be helpful to have someone assist you in holding the cat still while administering the injection.
