Thanks for your good advice, Jimmy. My sister and I successfully deployed your towel strategy, and got Skittles into the bathroom. I got in there with her. But being feral, she was too tough for the purrito. But several super-good scratches and a significantly deep bite later, she's been to...

Here's my Rat Face. She's eight years old, a healthy, funny, affectionate girl. She talks back - the little brat. She loves treats, nip, and string toys.
She's in California, being cared for by my niece until I can get there in May.
