How to cat in travel box for vet visit?

[Liltzero]

My cat is due a trip to the vets for her annual checkup and jab. This is now overdue due to Covid etc.

Each time I've taken her to the vets previously I've struggled to get her in the box. She does not like being picked up, is fast and instantly on the alert should she detect a change of routine.

I need to get her booked in but am nervous of the stress to me and her of getting her in her carry cage and potentially having to postpone the vet appointment because I've failed to 'capture' her.

Carry box is currently in the sitting room in anticipation and is taunting me!

TIA

If, during this process, your cat ends up on the floor in a flailing blur of claws and teeth, then put the cat box in a corner, get a big broom, and effectively "sweep" the cat into the cat box. It isn't pretty, and your cat will hate you.

They will hate you anyway, however you get them in the box.
