We adopted Mysti 2 1/2 months ago from a shelter. She was very shy and it took us 10 days to get her to come out from under the bed. When we were not in her room she would come out to eat and use litter box. Now she follows us around the house, likes to be petted and brushed, loves to play with her toys, and will sit on my lap. she is a very sweet cat. Although she was seen by a vet at the shelter, I want to take her to my vet for a checkup. I have already had to cancel one vet appointment because she will not let me pick her up. I can for a second or two, but then she wiggles and scratches and gets away. I'm not sure how I am going to get her into the carrier. Any suggestions? Thank you.
