Sammycat will not be a happy camper

I was just checking through the mail from yesterday and found the little reminder card for his checkup and shots. Oh boy this is going to be fun.....NOT! The last time I took him to the vet he had to spend the night for a hairball blockage. I hope that he doesn't think that is what he is getting in the carrier for this time

Hopefully he won't remember! Just take some tastey treats for him!

Awww... Sending hugs and treats for the Sammycat

Ahhhhhh.....Sammycat....you're big-boned boy! Confuse him with treats before you put him in his carrier!!

My Tigger hides the minute I think about pulling the carriers out of the closet. He has a weird sense about things.....

*hugs* for Sammycat!

Thanks for the treat idea. He does love his cookies I hope the vet want fuss too much about his big bonedness is there such a word as bonedness

If someone understands the use of a word, then I say it's a word. Who cares what the dictionary says! What do they know anyway??

Sammycat is such a handsome boy!

My cat/s always remember the trip to the vets. . . . especially poor George (bless his soul) who became a frequent flyer in the last several months.

I always got very anxious about putting him in his carrier. . . he was a big boy like your Sammy.

I used to sneak (very difficult as he followed me EVERYWHERE) his oversized (dog) carrier up the cellar stairs. . . . and into the bathroom. I would lay it with the door facing up. . . . then. . . . I would go find George. . . . give him some soothing pats. . . scoop him up. . . . walk into the bathroom with him. . . . close the door with my foot. . . . and slowly lower him into the carrier before he had a clue. . . close the cage door as fast as I could. . . . then would come the hard part. . . .listening to him carry on. . . he would get so upset that he would pee in his carrier every time.

Now with Molly (who is also due for her annual vet visit). . . . she's so much easier. I have a zippered bag (meant for cats) that I use. I pick her up. . . spin her around a few times to disorient her. . . and (with the room spinning!) I put her into the bag face first and quickly (without getting the tail and whiskers stuck in the zipper!) zip the bag up.

Phew!!!
