Hi Laurie,
This is just to let you know that I know how you feel. Presently, I'm dealing with a diabetic cat who won't let me give her the insulin. Clients will be gone 2 weeks. Fortunately, they were very aware of this possibility before they left. My best advice would be to keep a close eye on the little devil. The blanket idea is good or perhaps a catch pole if you have access to one. Best of luck,
Sandy
P.S. If it makes you feel a little better, I once spent a half hour cornered in a bedroom by a "Lucifer".
