we have a method now, shut all doors and make sure window is shut (she escaped out of it the other day), pippa distracts her while i try to do her ears, pick her back up/get her down from where shes run of to. pippa attempts distraction again while i go for the nose, cat gets away and hides under table, me and pippa covered in sunblock and cat fur, cat may have a slight smear on her body somewhere, most likely her black patches
