Took my cats to the vet yesterday to get their vaccines. Want to see a big tough cat cry pathetically in his carrier? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW96yNhmYPY Not pictured: the claw marks with radiating bruises on my arms. He didn't attack me, he just gripped tightly onto me when I tried to put him in the carrier. That cat is 12 lbs, 4 oz of pure muscle.

I find the best trick is to hide the open carrier around a corner where they can't see it, pick them up, and then run them around and 'surprise!' and shove them in before they even know what's happened or realise it's there. I still have a few scars, though.

Just make the carrier veritcal, pick your cat up and put him/her inside. Once inside close lid and slowly put the carrier back on it's base. That or do what my mom did with dropping a towel on one of the cats, pick it up and put it into the carrier with the towel. I don't know if the cat was paralyzed with fear, excited to play hide and seek or just not caring but it worked.

My last cat found the carrier utterly abhorrent and was absolutely impossible to get into it. I had to take it apart, pick him up, hold him down in the base of it, and reassemble the goddamned thing around him with one hand. He'd figure out what was going on really quickly. Let me tell you, vet trips were a wonderful experience with that cat.

Yesterday I was lucky that I had my dad to help me, because I had tried the "put the carrier on its side and drop the cat into it" and the little dude just wasn't having it. The next time I have to put him in there by myself I'm going to do the towel trick. These are my two cats in happier times, 2 seconds before a playfight broke out --

And when it's for compassionate euthanasia, pretty much every vet and technician I've ever seen is extra kind and gentle.

My friend's cat Nubs. He is tired of your shenanigans. Apparently the nokia he uses as a cell doesn't take great pics  Still, hilarious to me, because this was about 10 seconds after he went to go get something to drink and came back to "What? You moved. Mine now."

My carrier trick is to put it out the night before with a fave blankie in it. The last time Henry Cat had a check up, I basically just had to shut the door. He was already in there napping on his blankie.

Nubs doesn't have a carrier, but he's a giant 14lb cat. He just has one of those medium sized PETA cages from wal mart that collapse down. He hates getting into it, but man when he's at the vet he HATES when people try to take him out. That's his place and if you want in you have to pay the cover fee in blood. That or he just understands what happens when his temp gets taken and that poo poo is not cool.

Unfunny Poster posted:*wakes up from a nap in the Vet's office* I wish it went *that* well. But, getting the door closed is, like, 75% of the battle for my guys. They usually aren't too bad at the vet's. The worst Henry ever was was when he was injured earlier this year, so he gets a pass. Crate rest was rough.

You guys do realize that they make cat carriers that open from the top. Just open it up, plop the cat in, and close it. No real trouble at all. Hell, if you just leave it open, a cat will get curious enough to go in on their own, usually.

Fair warning, though: open-top carriers aren't allowed to travel on some airlines. If you're flying somewhere with a critter that's going to be in the hold instead of the cabin, make drat sure your carrier is approved.

Yeah, the cat will in no way splay their legs out so that you can't force them in, grab the edge and use them to lever out of your grip, and then escape and not be seen for hours. Similar to their strategy at the vets after they arrive where they splay out and grip either side of the door from the inside so that you can't get them out even by upending the carrier and shaking it. ...Misty did not like the vet.

Sometimes, no matter what you do, no matter what sort of fancy carrier technology has been invented recently, the only solution is to disassemble the carrier and rebuild it around the cat. Sorry cat, but I have screwdrivers and thumbs. I will win this war.

I thought the answer was always 1. Treat 2. SURPRISE! 3. Shove in carrier and zip it closed before the furry little head can bust through

My cat carrier has clips on the side, makes it really easy to pull this off. Set the base down with a treat and the wire gate in place, put the top on, snap shut. Cat realizes they're trapped about 15 seconds after you're done.

I have never had a cat that didn't make at least some fuss about being put in its carrier (or a cat that would get into it on its own, for any money). It helps a lot if you have an assistant - you cram the cat in (gently of course, gentle cramming so as not to hurt the little angel) and the moment you whip your hands out your assistant dives in and secures the lid/gate/whatever. This leads me to wonder about Maru, renowned for his love of leaping into boxes. Do you think he leaps into his carrier too? Anyway here's a cat with a bubble wig.  Many fine cat pictures may be had by following mostlycatsmostly.tumblr.com.

Saturn knows the crate means one of two things; the vet or 3 hour road trip to stay with my dad. She's very docile and affectionate so she just whines at the injustice of it all, but she can be tricky to get in there. When I worked at a cattery, we used the technique of putting the carrier door up, holding the cat so the butt went in first, back legs held together, while holding the scruff. Release legs, close door while removing other hand. You can put a towel over the opening so you're basically dropping them into a dumpling wrapper and they can't get you quickly.  Sweet, lovable princess in action. She is the reason I can't leave anything resembling a bag out. She will piss in it. In the last two years she has lovingly labelled (1) Victorinox backpack that I got for my 18th and saw me through uni, my (1) and only laptop back and (1) scooting dufflebag that was full of diving gear. Thanks for pissing on my snorkel cat.

Gilbert is utterly impossible to get into a carrier so I just put a harness on him and throw him in the car like that for vet visits. By the time we pull into the parking lot, he's so terrified that he willingly climbs into the carrier to hide. I win, rear end in a top hat.
