With cats is quite difficult to describe a ''standard'' as it is normally up to the patient. Some of them do not need any particular form of restrain other than being held gently. For feral cats sedation and crush cage, blanket/towel/cat sack, cat trap (for feral cats) may be used. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
