Does your cat resist being placed in its carrier?

No way does my cats want to get into it. They know it is a trip to the vet. However, I have no trouble getting them into it, afterwards to come home. You need to put the case in the bathroom. Then get her and push her into it. Also, you can try keeping it open all the time, so she can get into it, sniff it, and get used to it. I hope you get her to the vets, she can go deaf if she has ear mites that smell and are black in there without medicine. If she has her claws, wrap your arm up in a towel, and pick her up and push her in. The case should be large enough for her to stand and turn around in there. Make sure it is not too small.

well if the cat has to go to the vet then it has to go dont show her the carrier and pick her then put her in there and make her go let her know who is the boss.

We have several cats and some of them don't mind going in to the carrier. Actually if we leave the carrier open and on the floor they will take turns sleeping in it. That being said though we have a couple of others that fight tooth and nail to not go in it. We have to be creative in catching them and getting them in there and closing it before they get out again. Try using a blanket or a towel. Throw it over her and then carry her to put her in. Sometimes that is the only way. They do have some carriers that open from the top and that might make it easier for you to get her in.

Leave the carrier in another room. Go find the cat and woo it with treats. Grab her and put her inside. I would leave the opened carrier upright so I can lower her into it. That how I do it with my Tigger. In the future, go buy one of those soft-sided carriers that look like big purses and has mesh for the cat to look out. A little more comfy and cosy. She may begin to like it. I'd leave hardshell crates for air and long term car transportation.

I had a cat that love to get in the carrier as we used to go for a drive. Whenever she sees the carrier she want to get in and don't want to get out because she wants to go for a drive.If she knew that she was going to the vet well that's another story she refuse to get in .

My cat's so old (16!!), that we don't really bother taking her to the vet anymore.

i dont know, i have a problem with my cat Spot too and i dont want her howling and being miserable all the way to the vet. try coaxing her with dry cat food. i usually do that when i need to catch either of my cats. and since they know me, they dont scratch. just keep the carrier close by so that when you catch waffles, you'll be able to get her inside the carrier.

I haven't really had this problem, because my cat is apparently fearless. I would suggest leaving the carrier out in an area frequented by the cats and put something of theirs or yours inside it so it smells familar. Maybe even put a few treats in it to lure Waffles into it. This will let her get a little more used to it so the car ride isn't as stressful for her. Unfortunatly, if she is that skittish, she will probably never be easily put into the carrier. In that case, after you catch her, try putting her in rear first, it keeps cats from being able to grab the edges of the door as easily. When you get her in, put one hand on her head, over her eyes, to keep her in place as you shut the door. You may want to wear gloves if you think she will scratch in panic. Good Luck (you'll need it!) :-)

i open the carrier door and put a catnip toy in there and walk away slightly.after awhile they just have to check it out.i hate tricking them like that,but it's the least battle. only one of mine will go in willingly-but i think maybe that's because he knows the box=man in white coat with treats (our vet always hands them out after exam)

My sons cat Scrappy absolutely hates being put in a carrier. When i took him to get fixed the vet asked if he was a feral cat because of the way he was acting. He was hissing and growling and trying to tip the carrier over. When i moved a couple months ago, it happened again. My other cat isnt to bad, she cries a little, but i guess she was pretty scared because she went to the bathroom on a three minute drive from my old apartment to my new place.
