Help! How do you get a cat into a carrier...update! SUCCESS!!!!!

[sasvermont]

I also drop mine in ass backwards but I also put the carrier in an area where the dearest furchild cannot escape, i.e. hallway behind a closed door, or the bathroom. That way you can trap kitty in the small area and play cat and mouse for only 1/2 an hour rather than 2 days. I usually feed all the cats in this small area, a few days in a row, before the "stuffing" event!

Oh, and you may want to wear hockey or football gear.

I have one kitty that is a dream and two that are impossible, at best! Guess which two are difficult? Yep, the two Abys! They act as though I am going to murder them. Once at the vets, you cannot get them OUT of the carrier and then when the time comes, they rush to get back in to go home!

When I had Cirrus, who was also a semi-feral cat, I had to put the carrier behind the toilet and then I'd get a broom and chase him into the bathroom and close the door behind me. Then I'd use the broom to chase him into the carrier and I'd quickly close the carrier door. Back then I only had the hard type of carriers so it was easier to close the door quickly. Good luck.
