When I first started doing it, it was really hard and I needed two people, but now I've perfected doing it alone. My kitty is very cooperative for a kitty so that might be part of why I can do this, but if you want I can try to describe my method. It took me a long time to figure it out.My kitty hides under the bed if he sees me getting the fluids ready also. So I just have them always set up, and I change the needle immediately after doing it so it's ready for the next time. That way I can just snatch him as he walks by when it's time. But once I've got the needle in him, he barely struggles (this is partly due to my method, and partly I think it makes him feel better so he almost doesn't mind, but I'm not sure).
