When you need to get your cat in a carrier
If you want to get your cat in a carrier without getting clawed, you should spend some time getting them used to the carrier, so they don’t associate it only with trips to the vet. But if there’s an emergency and you need to get your cat now, the best way might be to use a towel or blanket to bundle them up. “Throw a big fluffy towel or blanket over the cat and scoop him up and into the carrier,” says Dr. Sinn. “It will be less painful than scruffing him, and the cat would be less likely to struggle.”


Good luck!
