Ha! True! One day I had to actually cancel a vet appointment because I couldn't find Andy.

They said that happens all the time.

I usually bring their carriers into the bathroom when they aren't looking (best to do the day before their appointment). Then I pick them up, one by one, and we head into the bathroom. It is a great place to *load them* into their carriers because, should they squirm and get away, they have nowhere to hide.

With more than two, though, my plan probably wouldn't work unless you have a very large bathroom.

Good luck rounding everyone up. I hope no one has any problems and their check-up is good. Just the fee for *well visits* for them all will be quite a bit.

Good luck with the kitty chase!! I sure hope they give in a little for you, Gary!! I give you credit....trust me, catching cats is no fun!

Good luck Gary. I hope you catch them all!
Paws are crossed that everything will go fine

It is a midnight to catch my two.Prayers and Paws crossed for all the Found Cats to be healthy.

You are my hero, Gary!! No way on earth would I try to take my 6 in at the same time - not to mention paying the fee!

Ours are scattered throughout the year, and it works for us.

Good luck, and prayers that everyone is extremely healthy.

Me too! One time I couldn't get panther in the carrier and had to cancel my appointment. He was hiding under the bed and I couldn't get him out. I felt so silly too.

Since then the bathroom is the best place in my house to put them in the carrier....no place to hide if they get loose.

I have had to cancel many vet appointments because Butter is in hiding. How does he know???

You did great, Gary!!!

Actually the Older Cats were easy as pie.
I just walked up, and plopped them in the carrier.
I had John Hancock in a carrier but he actually was rocking the carrier back and forth, and howling not unlike a banshee, so I let him out.
He was scaring the other Cats too much.
Now I have to scheme how to catch the Stubborn Trio.
Scrappy 2s calm, but loathes being picked up in any way.
John Hnacock might have ear mites and has to be caught, but thats easier said than done.
And Rocca has a bad reputation at Two Vets already.
This is going to be not a lot of Fun.
