I have such a violent reaction to the cat carrier that The Female Human has not taken me for my wellness exam either. I am the "Hairy Houdini" of cats and can twist and turn myself out of any grasp so just getting me in the carrier requires a net and several humans. Some of us felines are just more sensitive than others!<br />Purrs & Head Bonks,<br />LilyFeline Opineshttps://felineopines.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568338573305223678.post-16377418980403263122019-08-10T01:19:24.838-05:002019-08-10T01:19:24.838-05:00What sweet photos of Eddy and I love your doodle. ...What sweet photos of Eddy and I love your doodle. :)<br /><br />Awww I'm so sorry that poor Eddy is traumatized about the carriers. :(<br /><br />Couldn't she just go on a harness and leash, like I've seen on Purrseidon? Does the vet require them to come in a carrier?<br /><br />I hope that Eddy will be just fine. You are not a bad pet mommy. You're a human pet mommy. Believe me, human baby mommies go through similar things. Not all human babies willingly go into carseats. Our oldest never did! It was always a fight with him to get him into one and I would be driving down the road and he'd unhook the carseat and get out. Some kids and kits you just can't outsmart!<br /><br />Have a blessed weekend. :)Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568338573305223678.post-30368986203322615512019-08-09T21:59:08.216-05:002019-08-09T21:59:08.216-05:00Great Eddy ics!

To tell the truth, if I wasn't a blogging kitty, TW prolly would only take me to the vet when I was sick, She hates that the stress might be taking years off my life. We take cues from humans so maybe you shouldn't be tense when you want to take her. Last last TW gave me Gabapentin which didn't put me out put I was a bit more mellow.Cathy Keishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237575721246947408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568338573305223678.post-54214602552562177412019-08-09T18:05:23.805-05:002019-08-09T18:05:23.805-05:00It's scary how much we're alike.

Luckily, most of the time my hubby is home so I can call him to see how everyone is while I am babysitting or out with my mom. We never go overnight now either. <br />Poor Eddy, that sounds like quite the fear. I am surprised the vet doesn't think gabapentin will work. I use it on KaTwo and Polar Bear with good results. <br />Would she be open to a harness? Maybe you could take her with that instead?<br />Very cute drawing. Have a nice weekend!

He worked hard and Toby learned from the master to get out of sight. Of course if I could get him scruffed it was still a fight to get any part of him into the carrier. I then started using and old flannel pillow case. I would scruff Timmy. Slide the pillow case over him and then put the whole bag with cat inside into the carrier. The pillow case prevents those claws from grabbing on and it is an easy matter to then close the carrier. We do use top opening carriers which changed the equation in our favor. You can also have the carrier in another room and then just carry the "cat in the bag" in to the carrier.<br />Luckily with age my fellows are now easy to get in there but this may work for you.

We began using harness and leash from the beginning which he doesn't mind at all so now when we go to the vet he's on a harness/leash and I sit with him in the backseat while my hubby drives. Ted is fine and does well at the vet too. He just had a problem being "boxed in". I hope you can find something that Eddy will be OK with and I'm sure too that if it's out there YOU WILL FIND IT! <br /><br />Hugs, PamPam and Teddy https://www.blogger.com/profile/15279208525980245463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568338573305223678.post-70538058632109237262019-08-09T04:45:05.904-05:002019-08-09T04:45:05.904-05:00Poor Eddy.
