Things You'll Need:
- Your cat's favorite catnip toy (I swear by kittyhooch products)
- A large tranquilizer gun
-
Step 1
Do not tell your pet you have planned an appointment to the vet. This will only fill us with a sense of apocalyptic dread. Though we will claw and bite, it's best to blindside us and just jam us in the car. By then we'll know exactly what's going on.
-
Step 2
Have a carrier or box to contain your pet. Without it, we'll go nuts in the car and probably try to maul you in the face. This is a natural instinct; we can't help it. If you want to navigate traffic and not be bloodied, trust me, put us under lock and key.
-
Step 3
Keep us in the waiting room for as short a time as possible. Looking at all those framed pictures of cats crawling on each other or dogs sitting in a meadow of flowers just make us want to puke. By this point we just want to get this torture over with.
-
Step 4
Have treats ready afterwards. After we've been poked and prodded and tried to make a run for it, there better be some goodies waiting for us. A gentle reminder: We know where you sleep. Keep us happy, and we'll make life easier for you.
