I set out the Sherpa (cat carrier) bag

At some point soon I'll need to take Buffy to the vet for a checkup.

When I brought her home she was so confused she immediately hid under
the bed. I put the carrier out of sight so she might come out from
under the bed sooner. She did.

I just took the carrier out from its hiding place. She went and sniffed
at it. She even almost ventured into it! Good! I don't want some big
drama or vomiting when I take her to the vet.

Buffy was actually very good about getting into it once her caregiver
and I tricked her with a bit of gooshy food. She cried for a little
while on the way home but then she stopped. I kept talking to her
soothingly and she relaxed.

Persia (RB) used to get so upset about being in the carrier she'd vomit.

I am hoping by getting Buffy used to the carrier being around it won't
be such a scary thing. We don't take our pets to vets to hurt them.

Both Boyfie & Tigger cry all the way to the vets (and back) when they have
the injections.
When I took Boyfie to be neutered, he cried all the way back and I was
worried in case he was in pain so I speeded up to get him home. But
actually, he didn't notice his neutering much and his complaint was about
being in the car in a box.
He licked his ex testicles for 12 hours and after that he was out hunting
little rats again.
He doesn't need to worry about the girls and be out and about fighting other
boys about them. Although he does fight about his house and his meowmie.
Nocat is allowed near his house or meowmie. Otherwise he says "you are one
dead cat"
It's a worry. He's too old to be fighting. He disagrees.

Selina does not cry when she is in the carrier, but she is so upset that
she urinates all over the padding. So, I suggest that you place a lot
of washable toweling or other padding (not just the padding that comes
with the Sherpa) in the carrier. The other two cats do not urinate, but
they do cry all the way to the vets. They are quiet on the way home.

Just like many other cats, they are hard to put in the carrier before
leaving to see TED. All of them seem to grow extra legs at that time.
However, once we are at the vets, we have to close the carrier because
all of them seem to be desperate to get back into it.

Good idea about the towels, thanks!

How true they are desperate to get into the carrier once they're at TED!
