    idea from Pam.... For those of you with more than one cat....

    How many do you take to the vet at one time?
    I know by reading Tracey's vet threads that she takes more than one at a time. I'm sure several others do also. I only have one carrier so I only take one cat at the time. (also one PET @ a time b/c Keegan is just too big and loves going to the vet so much it would be a nightmare with her and another)
    Kloe gets carsick. Kylie just hates being in the carrier and yowls the entire trip. Once we get there and she's out - she enjoys being made over and petted and talked to. One time she was on the counters and reached up and started knocking bottles and stuff off the shelves!
    Once its time to go all you have to do is put the crate in front of her and she SHOOOOOTS in like a SHOT! - I don't have NEAR that easy as when we leave to COME to the vet!
    I actually don't mind taking them separately b/c its kind of like "alone" time with the kitties. Kloe isn't used to being alone ever b/c she almost always has one or the other in the house. So its my time with each cat. Its about the only time when Kloe will allow herself to be on my lap and for me to pet her uninhibited. Any other time she has a very short attention span and the teeth and nails come out.
    When she was a kitten I had to leave her overnite b/c of a UTI and when I went to get her the next day - the vet was making over her and exclaiming - how sweeeeet she was and how cute she was and she was just soooo loving. I was seriously thinking "I don't know what kitten you're talking about b/c that isn't the same cat I brought here! But whichever one they bring me I'm keeping!" B/c she was a TERROR even back then! But they brought me the right cat and I am still suspicious that they weren't talking about her!

    What a great idea for a thread Staci! LOL! I take both of mine together because I have two carriers. I just carry one cat carrier in at a time. Trevor meows like a mountain lion on the way over and Andy slinks to the back of the carrier and is quiet as a mouse. He is my scaredy cat anyway. After the exam they both run into their carriers. The vet explained to me that the cats view the carrier as "the tunnel to home" so that is why they are so happy to get inside. I thought that was a pretty good way of putting it.

    I have a horrible cold. I slept almost all day and now I am awake at night. Shouldn't you be asleep too?

    I had a feeling that you were going to say something about being sick and you'd slept all day!
