I might have a little idea for Kylie. I can't get Rudie into his 'taxi' either, so the vet recommended one time to get him into small room with no hiding places and throw a dark towel over his head. Than you can pick him up easily. It worked great, we got him into the taxi and to the vet. There he escaped the minute we opened the taxi after he had already gave me some lovely deep scratches on my hand through the bars of the door. It took us 30 minutes and special vet gloves to get him under a towel again and give him the vac. he needed.

Good luck, and Kylie: it'll be over before you know it and life will be just the same afterwards. Your mommy only does what's best for you.

My other cat sleeps in her taxi, as you can see.
