We have a couple of cats who have figured out that going in the carrier is bad news. We turn them backwards and pop them in, which seems to work. One of them (Ginger) won't come out though (at the vet's) so that's another drama. We have to actually tip the carrier and shake her out. She claws and hisses at the vet. She is also the one who makes a huge fuss about nail clipping. I have given up and ask the technician to do it. They have to put a blind-fold on her for that though.
