Yayyyy for a good annual visit!! Good job mom and thanks Stephen for 'cooperating'

I'm sorry about the tummy scratches. They really burn/sting on the tummy. Phoenix got me there one time and it was not nice. Some kitties just don't like those carriers or the vet. I am so blessed to have kitties that have no problem with the carrier. They don't like the car ride or the vet much but they never act out...not even Phoenix. They serenade us all the way there and don't make a sound coming home. Have you tried leaving the carrier out with the door off. Put a nice blankie inside and see if they will take a liking to it and explore it. That is how I got all my kitties to accept the carrier. Worth a try if you haven't tried it.
