Anyone used 'the trick' during season?

[catalyst]

  Well i found another vets that will take her on Monday. So thats a little sooner anyway. Only thing is that i drop Pagan off at the small vets near me and then they take her in a car to another vets to do the op and then drive back to the smaller vets. Im sure its standard practice but i hope its not too stressful for her.

Wonder if "the trick" works on Husbands 

  And there was me thinking it was something they dealt with themselves .....

Teresa's "trick" worked on Ruby last night (even though used paper tissue instead of feather  )  Back to "calling" this morning though 

She wants some more tickling  goes to show the only safe long term cure is spaying.

I have heard of breeder using this trick, also using a neutered Tom and letting them have "safe sex"

I would definately try and find another vet.

i have heard of breeders doing that. Fingers crossed you can find another vet who will spay her

Sigh. I think il just call around other vets even if its a bus journey away.

  just posted similar thing elsewhere, you need to use a long soft feather to tickle her fancy ..and gently pinch scruff, this will NOT stop the season but it will give you a couple of hours peace from her calling.

Ive read about this   

I wonder if it actually works but more to the point, i wonder what the CAT thinks about it!!! 

[catalyst]

Oh it was the vet that said it. Il need to wait until tomorrow to call around other vets. Too late now.

[catalyst]

Yeah i thought it odd! I might do a call around and find another to do her asap. I can tell she will be in full heat within a few days. Iv heard of it before, but only through an online search!

[CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls]

God no, I haven't even heard of this  

I would see if another vets can do her sooner  

[Millys Mum]

Find a new vet! 

Cats in heat will mate several times over so cant see how this will help. Did an actual vet say it or was it reception?

My vet cant take Pagan for her spay until Wed 6th May!! I told the vets that she will have probably started another season as she was showing signs of starting. They are too busy to take her sooner. I cant take another season as my flat mates complained a lot the last time as she was very noisey for a week! My vet said that if she started to be noisey that i was to take her into the practice and she would do the trick to calm her. As in make her htink she has been mated by using a sterile cotton bud. Has anyone had this done to their cat before!?
