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.
