dogs are also done externally - it is just like squeezing a pimple really  :sick: only quite a bit smellier  :sick: :sick: :sick: rancid sardines spring to mind  :sick: :sick: :sick:

Years ago....prob about 20 I got a dog done but Im sure it was done internally!  :sick: Like I mentioned before to MM "I cant imagine a cat allowing anyone to do that"  :scared:

Sorry for being inquisitive guys and can I say what a polite bunch you are....I wanted gore and all!  :innocent: :evillaugh:

Iv been lucky and not seen it done smelt it, but iv heard stories.

Cats are done externally, not sure about dogs, guess it depends how thin the vets fingers are :sick:
Mark should know...

Not sure how I should take that (no pun  :evillaugh: )


I didn't look - he showed me the stuff that came out though  :sick:

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

Alice does it all the time. If you speak to her, it waves even more - even if she is purring. I told the vet a while back and he emptied her glands but she still does it.

One of my new cats Geoffrey has a gentle tail movement practically all of the time, it doesn't seem to indicate annoyance/playfulness/anything in particular, it is just constantly on the move.  It definitely forms into a distinctive wag if he's miffed about something so with him I think it's just one of those little idiosyncracies.

Cats were once gods; they have never forgotten this, nor have the people they own.

Depends what you mean when you say flick  :rofl: :rofl:

A wagging tail is angry, but gently wagging Ok. Just a flick i dont think has a meaning.
