Today is the international "Take your cat to the vet clinic" day! Unfortunately, silly cats don't care about human days. What shall you do?
Start with doing mock medical procedures at home, to get the scaredy-cat used to being poked, prodded, and squeezed. Get the cat familiarized with the (preferably) solid carrier – let Admiral Wuss-Wuss sleep in it, leave in the living room, and make it a general part of life. Next comes car familiarization: take your cat on small rides, and gently increase their length so that Mittens gets used to it, as well as disassociating rides from veterinary clinic visits.
It's also a good thing to take a towel or blanket that smells of home with you to the vet hospital. Use it to make the kitty calmer in the waiting room, in the procedure area, and even leave this bit of home if an overnight stay is required. Having a good rapport with the vet also helps – being less stressed, and having a caring doctor helps the cat, too! But for now, take a look at these miserably funny cats, who just couldn't figure out the best hiding place avoiding a vet.

It's actually okay for the cat and it's not just for the vets safety but for the cats as well since a scared cat can be dangerous with the cat running around hurting herself jumping on cupboards or crawling under glass jars like above.
Load More Replies...Its not cuel, the cat isnt being squished, it alows safe examibation fore agitated cats so there is less chance the cat will hurt itself and the vets.
This isn't a cat carrier. It's a restraint used to keep the vet and the cat safe during the exam and treatment process. A scared cat can be pretty dangerous. This restraint doesn't hurt them and helps to keep them calm - sort of like a swaddled baby.
Load More Replies...I Also Brought My Cats To The Vet. Both Of Them
I like how one of the cats is like :I will survive this , i will not turn around and everthying gonna be fine:; and the other one is like : TAKE him first !!!!

I'm the first to not find cats suffering funny but this made me laugh out loud. It's such a familiar situation and often for little things like shots or microchips. No harm done.
