Oh Pam, can I relate! Getting Fister into the carrier can be quite a challenge, but lately it's been a bit easier.

We normally lock him in either the bathroom or kitchen, but he's been known to escape before the door was closed. If he does, he usually hides under the bed or under a cupboard in the bedroom. In this case, the hoover comes out! And within a minute, he's in the bathroom or kitchen!

So far, we've never had to cancel an appointment, but there has been bloodshed a few times!

Good luck next time!
