I dunno. I’m trying to be done with buying single use tools. Does it work with cats? As in, when you have to put them in the carrier to take them to the vet?

Pick them up wrapped in a towel, cat burrito. They'll shake the towel off on the way to the Vet's.

Our cats see the carrier and they hide, they know it's shots at the Vet. Grab'em in a towel, and they go right in. We have to do it one cat at a time. The other cat see's his pal in the carrier, and hides!

I've actually done exactly that when trying to put one of mine in a cat carrier, they do work well for that. I like the burrito version better and will try that next time.

We have multiple cat carriers, =number of cats resident-1. With "only" two of the flock going for maintenance tomorrow, each will have its own ride container. I think they are more disturbed by the ride than the vet, truth be told. The vet has separate 'cat periods' and 'dog periods', so there is minimal cross-contamination possibility in her reception area.

They will not be riding in the 928, even though the AC seems to be working OK.

And now the thread hijack is complete and Joe helped.

Back from the vet. I’m an old pro at the Cat Burrito Method for carrier insertion.

I think I’ll still get those cat sleevs though. They may help with burrito ingredient gathering.

Now I just need the 7-foot-long equivalent of this:
