"Handling a Fractious Cat"

  

My side hurts from laughing. This video came up during my search for "fractious patient". 

I worked as a vet tech way back in the day. I can not even begin to tell you how much hell I experienced when dealing with a fractious pet. Mommy brings her sweetie-pie fur baby in for surgery, and Fluff transforms into Damien when it it time to pull her from her cage for sedation. We would affix a red FA (fractious animal) sticker to their paper file (an era before computers), and would hang a tag on their cage door.

The man in this video acts his heart out. His beautiful interpretation of a fractious cat is a delightful moment of nostalgia for me.
