We're home and all went well! I watched the tech very carefully as she loaded the syringes and said a little prayer that she knew what she was doing and that the vaccines were safe.

I also had very little trouble getting them into their carriers either. I tossed a "Pounce" in Trev's carrier and he debated about going in to get it and his stomach won out! Andy doesn't have the same love affair with food so he wasn't "buying into" the Pounce trick. I did manage to get him in, though, without too much trouble. Here's another tip that I used tonight that was helpful. I brought both carriers into the bathroom earlier in the day and kept the bathroom door closed all day. When it was time to get ready I carried each cat, one at a time, into the bathroom. The reason I chose the bathroom, is that there's no place to hide if they should somehow squirm out of my arms. It worked like a dream.
