I've never seen a kitty this docile and he doesn't appear to be drugged or anything.
Boone and Gracie are the first cats that I've had that don't mind car trips. We are only 15 minutes from the vet and halfway there, they are asleep in the carrier. I had one cat that L-O-V-E-D temp checks. She would purr and purr and purr.Not all cats hate the vets. My three all hate the car trip, but generally don't seem to mind the visit itself. They visit with the reception room cat, explore the examining room and purr for the vet techs. They definitely don't like temperature checks, but aren't traumatized by that. I don't know whether they like the "curb service" trips during the coronavirus epidemic, though.
