How to Wrap a Cat in a Towel

Wrapping a cat in a towel to administer medication may seem a little scary, but if your cat needs treatment and he must be restrained to do it, wrapping him in a towel is safe and will not hurt him. Instead of having to go to the vet every time he needs his ears cleaned or needs to take a pill, you can do it yourself.
