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
