Visit to the Vet

We go to a wonderful veterinarian called Care Animal Clinic in Brookfield, Wisconsin. The people there are nice and knowledgeable and clearly lovers of cats and dogs and other living things.

Yesterday it was Gemini's and Leo's time for a checkup and a rabies shot.

Cat lovers know that journeys in a vehicle typically are greeting with displeasure, even wailing by feline passengers. We always put our guys in small carrying cages for the ride so once they see the cages they immediately begin panic.

Here's a tip to help make it easier to get your cat into a carrying cage.

First, put the cage in an out-of-the-way room hours prior to needing it. Second, set it on its end and open the door. Third, when the time to leave approaches, find your cat and pick her or him up. Fourth, put your hand over your guy's eyes and deposit her or him in the carrier feet first.

By the time, the cat realizes what's going on, you will have the door closed and latched.
