This is our cat, Nubi juan Kenobi getting acupuncture several years ago. He was in pain due to a urinary tract complication and we were waiting for the veterinary hospital to open. He allowed me to needle him and it did not fix the urinary blockage, but it did relieve some of his pain. We brought him to the vet as soon as they opened. He ended up needing surgery.
Nubi is 17 and is alive and well! He is happy being back in Salem MA. He loves laying in a nice warm sunny spot. During the winter I use heating pad that can be microwaved, cover it with a towel and put it in his bed near the window where he can also watch the birds. Such luxury!
People ask me if I treat cats. I treat mostly dogs with acupuncture - they are much easier than cats! Cats are more suspicious and sometimes will hide when a stranger comes into their home. Some cooperate and will allow me to needle them. Others I have to use the laser instead - which of course they like to chase. I decide whether to take on a cat patient depending on their diagnosis.
