The Cat Burrito

Okay! So in the last two weeks I have introduce you to my fur babies, Symbah and Peeves. Last week I mentioned that I would be posting about how Blake and I were able to help the two of them become friends called The Cat Burrito! I apologize for this post being a day late. Had an important issue come up that needed attending to. Anyways! Here is how to burrito your cat(s). 

                                                                       You will need :

                                                       Two people (if there's more than one)

                                                                  A good size blanket

                                                                         Your cat(s)

First, you will take the blanket and fold it in half. Depending on how old your cat is decides the width of the blanket. For our cats, the blanket just needs to be folded in half once. When they were kittens, we would fold it twice. You want the blanket to be wide enough so that their back feet do not stick out, but to where it does not leave a bunch of empty blanket room too. Helps even more with handling.

Next, you will take your cat and set them near one end of the blanket. Make sure to have your hands on either side of them like you see in the image above so that you have a good hold of them but are still gentle. Then in one swift move, you will place one of your hands on their back as you use the other hand to grab the end of the blanket. When you begin the wrap, it will be like tucking them in at first. Now for the fun part!

Slowly and gently start to roll the cat into the burrito. Try to keep their front paws tucked in well to prevent them from possibly scratching you or making it easier for them to get out.

The burrito is also a good way to help calm the cat down and you can use this technique when it's time to give them any medicine or flea treatment. Blake and I use it for cleaning their ears when they get bad. When we first made the cat burrito, we used it to help get the two of them to be friendly. We would wrap each cat. Blake would usually have Symbah and I Peeves and each time we would get closer. The final test was when Symbah didn't hiss or growl at all and they were basically touching noses. It took some time but now they are the best of friends!

And that's how to make a cat burrito! Let me know what you think in the comments below! Want to see more? Follow us on twitter at @TheMochaowl11! See you tomorrow!
