Sorry David, no suggestions here! I had to take Mitzi to her annual yesterday and the minute I picked up her carrier, she bolted for under the bed. Good thing I'm a bit bigger and faster than she is and was able to snatch her up and get her into the carrier without too much problem.

Somehow they know that carrier = vet = bad things happening to them. Doesn't matter how you try to disguise the carrier, keep it out so they get used to it (they don't), put catnip or treats in it, I haven't been able to fool my two.
