Thank you. Yes, I think we do. And I am grateful as my partner is open to us swapping round roles.
Oh gosh, that sounds challenging. I'm sure you have either tried this, or there may be reasons you may not - could it be cruel? But when I had cats as a child, my mum would wrap them up in a towel, so they couldn't get their little scissor claws out to fight us in the event of medication time etc.
Anyway, good luck and hang in there. You are doing this for their own good. They are just being drama queens :-)
