8. Towel or Cat Burrito • The cat burrito can be used instead of a cat bag and tends to be easier to get fractious cats wrapped in towel than it is to get them in a cat bag. • The Cat Burrito can be used to clean ears, get blood or restrain a fractious cat. • Remember: when handling the cat in a cat bag or a cat burrito, you still need to scruff the cat as they can still use their mouth to bite.

9. Cat Net • The cat net is similar to a rabies pole in appearance accept instead of a noose on one end there is a net. • The net can be placed over a cat to remove it from a cage, especially, if the cat is wild or extremely vicious.
