But I didn't realize it until after the fact...
Holland had her follow-up dental exam today, and she and I had a good, hard play session about an hour before we had to leave. My hope was that I could get her to play for a good half hour so she might want to nap, which always makes it easier for me to grab her and put her in the carrier.
Well, she played for about 40 minutes, and was still in "play" mode when it was time to go - she scampers away every time I get hear her. So I went into the bathroom (irresistible to kitties) and sure enough she followed me in. I shut the door behind her so I could grab her.
My worry now is - I'm afraid that I somehow scared her away from the bathroom, and that's where her litter box is. My bathroom door is pretty much never closed, but I don't want her to be afraid to come in if I'm in there.
The good news is she got a good report at the vet. Also, my little girl who never wanted to play now wants to play ALL DAY LONG. Which is great, because it means she's feeling 100% better. Unfortunately, her favorite games are batting small toys around until they go under the couch and me throwing her little mousie for her. If only I could teach her to bring it back...

I was just thinking how stuck up my response sounded... lol Just so you all know, Sophie has more than enough vices to make up for her crate cooperation...
