My kitty Goldie has what seems like a kitty cold but I'm taking her to the vet to make sure and probably get her on some antibiotics. When it comes to getting a cat in a cat carrier, I'm terrible....any tips or suggestions????

Years ago, we used to put my partner's cats in pillow cases; they just turned into big noodles, allowing us to place them in a carrier with ease. Best of luck. I hope Goldie feels better soon.

If your cat is anything like mine she sleeps a lot. I grab the Wuppster when she's snoozing and put her in the carrier. Failing that a towel helps to gather her up in.

The Wuppster, Wuppert, Wuppertypuppert, Woody, Spuddy, Spudwood Woodward, Pups, Pupwad, Puppert, Puppertino, Teeny Toes, Furry chuff, Woolly and more are all names for Her Royal Greyness the Woodipotimus (her kitten name was Pudding)

Where does a cat sleep? Anywhere it damn well pleases!

Lol! I built my own custom trap with plywood. I put tuna inside, plus, it has a section inside that keeps a live mouse. I hear there are nets out there with long poles, or you can make one yourself. I use to cover them with something thick like a small quilt, or double some thick towels, and wait until they were deeply sleeping, wear thick gloves and shirt sleeves, get behind them, then as fast as I could, covered them, got a good, tight, grip, and put my furbaby in. The bigger the carrier the easier this is.

That sounds complicated......I have a Sherpa carrier for them. I don't have thick gloves, would my snow gloves work? I'm hoping the vet doesn't try to pet Goldie (new vet). Goldie will let anyone put out their hand so she can sniff them but nobody can pet her but me...fiesty kitty

Awwwwwwwww poor kitty . I've always just opened the door on the carrier eventually the right one will check it out lol then just close the door . Or you can grab her by the nape of her neck like a mother cat would do and put her in back feet 1st with the carrier door up. Then when you get her in just put the carrier back down like it's suppose to be. If this makes any sense lol. If not call me will be able to explain better.

The right one comes to the carrier...not here. They see a carrier and run like the wind lol Although Goldie is a big girl so I'm not sure how much running she can do, she mainly sleeps. Will be calling you

I came home last night to a hurt doggie. She is my chihauhua Romee. She keeps crying everytime I touch her. She slept fine all night, ate breakast and went potty fine. I am going to check her out when I get home and then take her to the vet. I am thinking she jumped off my bed wrong (I hope). I'm just stumped. Poor thing.
