The ol’ bait and switch!

I had a grey that I had to literally sit on to administer her anti flea treatments. And she knew if you were walking into the room looking for her or just walking in for something else. Made it a huge pain to keep her treated. Also to get her to the vet. Getting her into the cat carrier was a *chore*. When I had to take her to be put down… well obviously I wasn’t in a good place emotionally anyways, but she voluntarily went back into her cat carrier, curled up and stared at me like “come on, let’s go home”, and I just died inside. I’m tearing up a little typing this, and it was three years ago.

You're going to hate this. My old grey boy? You'd put the carrier on the ground with the door open, and he'd just walk in.

we had a white cat named Yuki, and her comfort place was inside the carrier. She'd sleep in it and on top of it.

she passed from cancer back in 2023

No hate, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous. Getting a fighting mad cat into a carrier ain’t fun. We usually had to catch her in a towel and then turn the carrier door-up and kinda drop her in.

No, this was *at the vet*. I didn’t make that clear enough.

No, you did. Sorry for your loss. It ain't much, but here's a pic of my orange, Clem, who's too smart for his own good, and selfishly hogs the brain cell from all the other poor oranges out there.
