We have had some near misses but we haven't had to cancel an appointment....... yet.

We don't feed them before trying to catch them, that makes it easier.

Like you, we also shut the cat/cats in one room before we bring out the carrycases.


I have had to wrap George in a clean teacloth, in order to get him in his box at one stage. But this was when he had a bladder problem and was going to the vets practically daily, he was very fed up.

When I tried to place him in the box, he stuck out at least 10 (?) limbs to brace himself again the box. But when I wrapped his front legs gently again his belly with a teacloth, he popped in no problem.
