Then go get a pillowcase, find the cat, scoop the pillowcase over him quickly and get both cat and pillowcase into the carrier before he's able to work his way out of it. It's a little undignified, but it works like a charm.<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/First-Job-Guide.htm"> Elaine M</a> The easiest is to get the carrier all set up with the door open.

We have some cats who don't like going into carriers. We are able to get them in by putting them in rear end first. I don't think they realize what is happening until we have them 1/2 or 2/3 of the way into the carrier and, by then, it is too late. You can also try leaving the carrier out in hopes that your cat might take to sleeping in it. That might then make it easier to get him into for any trips.<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/student-loans/refinancing-student-loans.htm"> Bob N</a> A larger carrier might help.

so what i do these days i just leave the carrier with the door open where they can see it every day and they have calmed down now as they just ignore it most of the time and,

they even go inside to look and even sleep and to groom each other so when the time comes to go to the vet they are calm and walk in as they now have happy memories of the carrier!

i even leave their toys in it and they play hide and seek with each other so really the carrier is a fun place and holds no fear for my girls!

so i suggest you try this trick but don’t be surprised if he gets nervous when he first sees it, but don’t force him to approach it or he will come to resent it even more just leave it about so that he can become familiar around it,

and as time goes by he wont be bothered about it,this trick has worked for me with quite a few cats i have owned so i hope it works for you,

look at it from his view the box appears and reminds him of the vet,but when its about all the time it just doesn’t matter and is not scary as he would see it about all the time. Blackcat

They don't look like cat carriers and they're soft and netted so it isn't as scary as the big metal and plastic ones. They zip closed, so all you have to do is get him to sit on the unzipped carrier, hold him there and zip it up around him. I put a towel in mine too to give my kitty a little bed. I also have a regular plastic/metal cat carrier that has a top door and a front door so I can pick them up and put them in with gravity working for me! If all else fails - leather jacket and gloves!<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/Recruiting/Taf.htm"> LadyLuck5785</a> They sell these great cat carriers that are like pop up laundry hampers (I bought one at target for about $12).
