Ever since his first visit to the vet’s office five years ago, our family cat Buster has been fighting us every inch of the way when we try to corral him in a cat carrier. He seems to anticipate the impending vet visit at least an hour in advance because he goes into hiding under a dresser or in the tiny crevice between the refrigerator and the kitchen cabinets. The normally friendly and subdued cat will yowl and scratch in an attempt to get away, and in some cases getting a him to cooperate is practically impossible.
Last year I decided to try out a few different cat carriers to see if any of them suited his fancy. I found a stylish backpack model that’s as portable as it is attractive. Even though the cat still resents every trip to the vet – he knows all about the invasive procedures that take place there – the experience is much more pleasant for my wife and me. Rather than hauling around a bulky plastic carrier, we can maneuver the cat around in a discreet, well-ventilated book bag.
