Mom's hint for kitties that run and hide when they see the- cat carrier

Opie hates travelling and esp. the vet. I found that when I'd bring the cat carrier up to put him in it - he'd take one look and ''goodbye'' - he was off in a place that we could not drag him out of! All this 20 minutes before we were due for the vet appointment. What a screeching scratchy mess!

What I do now is bring up the cat carrier the night before and open up the top.
The Ope bolts when he sees it, but eventually gets used to it and starts meandering around as usual. The next day, I can easily pick him up and pop him in! Happy Mom, resentful Ope..but at least no-one risks getting hurt.
