    Everyone tells me similar experience with taking cat to a vet. For me, vet is actually the lightest part, but the transport and putting cat into a case is a nightmare, no matter where we go.

      A way of getting a cat into a carrier I’ve found is, wrap the cat in a blanket and then have someone else go get the carrier, so they don’t know what’s happening until it is too late

          That was the only method that really worked for my first cat - an enormous stray. So now I do it by default. It seems mean, but it doesn’t hurt them and any method that takes less time I think is less traumatizing. I hope?

      Same. Once at the vet, shes chilled out, if a bit scared. She mostly tries to hide or get off the vet’s table. But getting her in the carrier in the first place, goddamn. I hate it. She puts up such a fight.

      for me it’s getting the calico into the carrier. once they’re in it’s cake. the tortie even walks around in the vets office and both of them are so calm for the vet
