    Haven’t seen Bleeb for a few days. I hope Frick and Frack didn’t get him.

    He’s not really ready until he has them secured in their carriers.

    That’s about it! I had to plan about 20-30 minutes before I left to get Tigger in the cage. Finally I ended up picking him up,grabbed his back legs and put him in standing up! Then treats followed!

    Are they feral? My mom lives in Florida and has told some stories about how untameable feral cats are.

    Pro Clothing Tip:

    The hood on a hooded sweatshirt, also known as a “hoodie”, when conveniently turn around and worn backwards, makes an efficient bowl for popcorn or other snacks while at work. Just remember to empty the hood before turning it back around, or you’ll wind up the laughing stock of the office…

    … that is… if you’re not already the laughing stock of the office, simply for wearing a hoodie to the office.

    The best way to put the cats in their carrier is to pick up the cat by the chest, with your hands just behind their front paws, and hold the cat away from you. Now the cat is powerless. Have the carrier so the door is pointed up, and drop the cat in, then close the door. You don’t even need to wear all that protection. Ignore all the yowling.

    We would lure the cat into the bathroom. Close the door and the fun??? would begin.

    We leave the crates out with their blankets and crate toys inside. Sometimes we will put treats in there. When it’s time for their appointments we have no problems at all. They love their vet and her assistants. We had a visit earlier this year from my cousin who is a farm vet and she said they were all in good shape. They like her as well. It is a mellow clowder.

    Last time I took a cat to the vet, he showed his fury by peeing in the taxi. The vet suggested I line the taxi with a towel next time; I told her that the way the cats fight being put into the taxi, the towel just gets bunched up.

    I unzipped the top of their carrier and put it on the washer and then would get mine from the bedroom. I would carry her into the laundry room and put her in the carrier and zipped it up. She protested all the way to the vet, hid in my arms from the vet, and was silent on our way home. I would put the carrier onto the kitchen floor and unzip the flap. She would hesitate at first but then made a mad dash back to the bedroom where she stayed until later in the day to eat and use the litter box.
