That would be great if Whisk would do that. She'll rub and sniff at it,
but if I just so much as put a finger on it, she's off.

when it was off to the vets!

Mine too. DH suggested I gget the cat carrier out and sit it next to me

when
I'm at the sewing machine because they are all over me when I try to sew.

They
probably wouldn't even come in the room.

LOL when we were children we had a dog who loved the vets! he loved all the
attention in the waiting room of everyone making a fuss over him, and he
went mad when he saw the vet, jumped up at him wagging his tail like mad! I
bet all the other dogs in the vet thought he was one crazy dog!

I suppose mine don't mind their carrier because when we go to my daughters
they go in them and their love her, they really do just use them as beds so
its no problem, they just walk in and out after the trip to the vets :-)

well I had so much trouble with my last cat, still have the scars to prove
it (who sadly is no longer with us), I decided from the start I would keep
the carriers out and encourage them to go in it, threw catnip drops inside
them, throw toys in when playing with them, so they are more than happy to
go in them now and sleep sounding in them too.

Actually, varying the sites completely
is recommended. If you aren't repeatedly
vaccinating the same spot, you seriously
diminish the chances of ever having to
"amputate" anything.

Obviously, having lost a cat the original
poster should understand the vaccine is
warranted, especially with cats that are
going to be exposed to the outdoors, or
cats that are.

They should vary the injection sites for different vaccinations, not
for the same ones. FeLV should always be on the leg and the same leg
(left is recommended) for each booster. In the case of a sarcoma only
the one leg would have to be removed.
