I have visions of trying to get the second one in only to have the first escape. Each cat gets his/her own, and I only wrangle two at a time max. <br /><br />The pathetic noises are heartrending but luckily my cats do eventually forgive me, after disappearing for a while in a huff. I think they feel it is only fair to listen to my heartrending and pathetic "please, sweetie, come on out" calls for a while before they deign to slink out from their hiding places. <br /><br />Tom, leave the adaptor in your suitcase when you come home and unpack. You won't remember it's there until after you have gone nuts looking for it and shelled out the money for a replacement, but at least you'll get the "oh, there it is" moment when you go to pack :-)boonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428485586445604.post-13084872844957711202010-11-12T02:23:17.925-10:002010-11-12T02:23:17.925-10:00Having two cats who occasionally need to be taken ...Having two cats who occasionally need to be taken to the vet in a carrier I understand your dilemma in first tricking/trapping the two of them, and then finally getting them into it. <br /><br />Tricking them consists of closing the doors to every room in the house to minimize their escape. The more clever escape artist has to be caught first and only then, can the carrier be retrieved because I swear they can hear it being picked up and carried from its hiding place no matter how silently it's done.<br /><br />Placing their resisting bodies through the door of that carrier is like trying to thread a needle with wet spaghetti. Especially difficult is getting the second one in, without losing the first one. It took me years to finally figure out that gravity can help if the carrier is placed on its end, and the cat sort of dropped into it rather than trying to urge him forward.<br /><br />Then of course when at the vet, they refuse to come out of it and it has to be tipped upside down to get them to exit.<br /><br />The way home is a lot easier. They charge back into the carrier after their examination.<br /><br />Cats are crazy and wonderful beings.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy your trip.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.com
