Lovely vet seeks placid cats

A friend of mine is a final-year vet student in Cambridge with a project about using ultrasound to locate blood vessels in the skin of cats.

If you're a Cambridge person with a 'normal, healthy, good-tempered' cat that would be happy with

The ultrasounding is entirely non-invasive, it just involves the cat 
sitting on a table for a while and having an ultrasound probe placed 
against their shoulder and their stomach. The fur has to be wetted slightly 
with ultrasound gel. It would take no longer than half an hour, but we 
would stop sooner if the cat started to get agitated.


then get in touch with me (comment here or email) and I'll put you in touch with Faye.

I'm not washing you if you get covered in gel. And you don't have any blood vessels :-p
