I think it is that WE are putting them in. They aren't choosing to go in.
Also, mine never close the door behind them when they use it.

Yes, I think that's part of it. So I did some "practicing" by placing the
cats in their carriers when I didn't really intend to pack them up. They
didn't object one bit ... until the day came to visit the vet! Obviously,
there is something different in my demeanor that gives the whole thing away.
Of course, once we do reach the vet's office, it's like the description some
of the others have given -- then the carrier becomes a security blanket and
they can't wait to get back in it. I have to close it up and remove it from
the examining table. Both of my cats are very "good" at the vet's office
and do not become aggressive or fight the examination (and my previous cats
were the same). Of course, I think that's really just fear!
