This is interesting because one gets to see an exotic cat; however, the very most interesting things are not addressed, such as: are these cats vaccinated for rabies? (pretty important, under the circumstances). Seeing a feline brought in for a probable bite wound after exposure to a rabid racoon, with no reference to the issue of rabies was toe-curling. The second-most interesting things aren't shown: the sedation; how this is done. Lancing an abscess, while satisfying, is old news.
