"Barb" dumped this in
on 23 May 2004:
Gee, if they have to go to the vet or if we are relocating I just put
each cat into the carriers. It's not like I say, "Okay, girls,
please go in." They don't like to go in unless they know we are going
to return home. I've gotten a couple of scratches but if it were
really bad I would put on gardening gloves. I am the boss and
sometimes going into those carriers is for their own little good.
Sooner or later you are going to have to get your cat into a carrier
and although this may be later I say-Go for it!
Yup. I have to get Bonnie to the vet next Saturday for her yearly and not
looking forward to it. But I planned for a Sat appt because our routine is
for her to be in my bedroom on Sat mornings with the door shut (she's used
to that) only this time there will be a carrier in there. I know I can pick
her up when we're on the bed, she might scratch me going into the carrier,
but there is no choice for her.
