all you guys in these videos have the most chill cats I've ever seen....
Exactly. Because mine would be putting up one heck of a fight Lmao
Right. Not realistic in my experience.

I have to take my cat to the vet in a few days.. i am already nervous
😂right!? It takes 2 of us to get my boy in the carrier. He’s strong and fights me the entire time! It’s more stressful for me I think! Lol I always feel so bad…gotta do it today his claws are too long and needs a trim!! wish me luck!!!
Step 1 Purchase those gloves they use to train falcons. Step 2 buy bandaids and hydrogen peroxide. Step 3 call the vet and cancel because your cat is under the bed and you need to get your wounds treated by a professional.
Yeah we had to cancel 2 times for her neutering, now we need to get a new one because she might be pregnant again -_-
@Stan Lee That’s the funniest (and truest) thing I’ve ever seen on KZhead! 💚
Step 1 revised: do everything in a closed bathroom
Hahahahaha so true
Done it. Been there.
What's the best technique if your cat is about to murder you cause he hates the carrier more than anything in life?
Hold his front legs and quickly push him inside
If you have one that opens from the top/you can take the top off that will be even better. But essentially, scoop him up in a towel and put him in. Look at some crate training videos for cats though because if he is comfortable getting into/being in the carrier then he will be easier for the staff at the clinic to handle and care for him.
Get yourself a roll of gaffer tape, a motorcycle helmet, and a stout pair of welders gloves, easy. My cats a stray a big ginger tom,he eats like a horse cost me a fortune, two cat flaps, the magnetic one he didn't like the magnet round his neck so I taped a fridge magnet to the flap to keep it on open all the while. The second is electronic so I am taking him to Vets Tuesday for chip, the new carrier I've bought ,he looks at it then at me and I swear he slowly shakes his head. I'll surprise him Tuesday morning with the pillow case trick, he wont see that coming. :)
Use the pillow case.That's what I do with my 15lb tom cat that HATES the carrier. It's the only thing that I've found that works. it takes the stress out of getting him in the carrier.
@@jennyomalley Hey, how did that turn out for your cat :) ? Was just curious.
The demonstration is good but as quite a few cat-lovers have already commented, it would be far more helpful for all of us to get tips and advice on how to get your cat into a carrier when it turns into chuck norris. I just had the experience today, which is why I've gotten here. My feline friend has already forgot about the incident but I'll be licking my wounds for the next week!
Agreed. It’s clearly easy to show different ways to place a cooperative cat in a carrier. One time it took 3 adults to give him medicine! Last time I tried the towel idea & he kicked so hard he got his way out.I had to cancel the vet appt. On top of that he held it against me for days…. I need to move in 3 days. I hate the idea of upsetting him so much before such a hard transition. Help.
So so true......
👍Thanks for the pillowcase tip. I hv to transport my baby, who hates the crate, and has injured back legs. I've owned cats for my entire adult life. No vet has ever been able to assist me. I'll let u know if the pillowcase worked by editing this comment later. Now, if u could help w tips on doing all of this in 118° degrees, w no garage, way to pre-cool the car, another helper, etc., I'll send u $1 USD. Vets are expensive. Thx again for a newer 💡 - just me (and Handsome Harry 🐈) in Palm Springs 🌴 Pls think good thoughts today, fellow animal lovers, for my Harry. Thanks in advance. 💔
Me too! Who’d of thought an 8 pound munchkin could turn into a feline fiend! We tried almost everything! I think this might work though.
This is like those martial arts training videos where the "attacker" politely freezes or cooperates as the instructor kung-fu's him.
Meanwhile my cat turns into Jackie Chan meets Dr Xavier if I even THINK the word "carrier"
I am sorry for your pain xD
They did a really good job of CGI with that compliant cat.
Thank you so much for making this. We have a stray cat in our neighborhood who has a bad limp and an attitude to match, we’ve worked on gaining his trust so we can take him to the vet. I’ve been trying to figure out how we would be able to transport him, and it seems like every other video/article on this topic is all about coaxing a docile, agreeable cat who trusts you into their carrier with bribes and cooing over several days. I don’t have time to launch a marketing campaign to get this cat to see the carrier as a lifestyle upgrade. I need to get him in the damn thing today. Thank you thank you thank you.
Exactly! I've been looking at these videos because I am trying to catch two feral cats and get them to the vet. I am so nervous! How did that work out for you?
Lol just noticed this comment is 2 years old 😂
My cat sees a carrier and goes into feral mode and IF I can get my hands on him, he sprouts four extra legs.
😂😝😂😝so true
i like your name
Leo needs a big treat after this for being so good!
Leo is like “What the hell are you doing this for???!!!”
The terrible towel and upright carrier worked for us. TWICE in 2 days for the same cat. She ended up having major dental surgery. Thanks for the tip.
Demonstrate with a wild kitty please. These videos would be alot helpful if demonstrations would be with wild kitties too. Mine is too wild and goes nuts. It's so stressful for us both...
Very good video! I have a vet visit for our cat this week. She is a super smart tuxedo cat. She remembers how I tricked her with treats last year which I tossed into the back of the carrier. She went in like a lamb. This time is different as she remembers and won't go in! This lady demonstrates the different ways very well. I'll still need to pray 🙏 big prayers that I can manage to get her into the carrier. Her nails are razor sharp. She bit me once though I didn't bleed. She is a very gentle cat with the sweetest meow, but she won't be pushed around. Wish someone could do the task for me!
Leo deserves a treat!
Is this cat on some kind of anti-anxiety med? He's so relaxed! My cat is always spread-eagle, fighting tooth & nail. I'm usually exhausted after multiple attempts. I've tried all these methods. 😺
My 13.5 cat is fierce to, I was able to use the towel method to wrap him and put him in a hard shell crate head first quickly.
Great tips, thank you. We have recently been adopted by a stray cat. She is super docile, smoochy, loves cuddles, play, and was incredibly hungry for the first three days. We cannot yet get her into a carrier. She just says no, does not struggle or scratch. We don't want to insist or traumatise her. I think the towel or pillow technique will work. We will try 'wrapping' her over a few days without putting her in a carrier. We want to get the vet to see whether she has a chip and an owner (because it's clear she has been socialised at some point) and also to find out if she has been spayed. Unless Leo could give her a word of encouragement... He's a star - hope he got a treat off camera!
~ I need a TRANQUiLiZER GUN! lol
Got more chance of winning the lottery every week for the rest of my life
We can not catch the cat
Same here
Same in here...
Thank you so much! I normally don't comment on videos but this video was so helpful. We were having such a hard time getting her in the carrier, but the pillowcase technique worked!
all these carrier tip videos are filmed with the cat equivalents of Buddha
For me wrapping towel works like charm. Because every month I weigh my cat with carrier on a travelers portable scale. The scale is very precise, it is lot less hassle to weigh at home rather dragging her to vet hospital. Remember cats are not dogs, they are picky sometimes baiting food in carrier doesn't work offcourse didn't work for our cat. It is easy to put cat in carrier in the animal shelter or vet place because cat is pretty much stressed and confined and easy to work with, however at home they are more free and jumpy and hard to box them.
I like the pillowcase technique 🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for making this video! I'm also a tech and was trying to explain options to a friend in another state. This was a wonderful demo. And props to the little man for being so cooperative!
I like the pillow case trick.That looks possible.
This is by far the most helpful video I've seen on this topic. Thanks!
I'll try this tomorrow when the old girl has to visit the vet. I'll be punted to the back of the room and probably won't make the appt.. I've never had to do something as difficult as putting her in that stupid carrier. I'll need stitches tomorrow, she basically turns into a Lion or sorts..
Lol. This video is fake. My cats get into wolverine mode when they see the carrier.
I had to actually use the pillowcase method to get my kitty to go into the carrier, worked like a charm, just about lost my arm when trying the other methods
only one? meh
The towel method worked for me, thanks, it is a big cat, last time I got some bad scratches.
My cat is fat and strong. I needed this, thanks.
Should demonstrate with a rough and tough cat!
Finds the worlds most docile cat to demonstrate
Thanks for the perfect solution
Very informative and helpful. I would love to see more cat content when you have time. 🙂
They cat must be drugged my cat would never let me do that 😂😝
Excellent. Thank you.
I have a carrier that can load from the front or top. I put him in from the top. I use some masking tape to hold the top door open and then I pick him up under his arms with him facing away from me. If I can get his hind legs in, the rest follows, and I can close the top before he can get out....I just use the tape to lightly hold it open, but it's not sticky enough to prevent me from closing it.
Yeah. Easy with a calm cat like that.
Thank You for the three techniques,,, fortunately for me,, The pillow case tech,,,was my go to,,,, needed to,,,and was the best option for the cat that houses with me. Flawless move it was,,, Scratch free in the end,,,,Thanks Again. GoodMoney,,, Uncle Larry.
Thanks this helped so much
All of this is fine if you already have a cooperative cat. When I try any of this, the second my cat sees they are going into either the carrier or the car, they go berserk like you were trying to drop them in a wood chipper. Even trying to wrap a towel around her... good luck with that. And put a pillowcase over them? Not a chance. The best part? My wife can do this with very little difficulty. She must give off the right vibe or something. 😀
Where does one get a cat like that one?
Thank you so much it worked
Leo is very happy inside the carrier :) He is volunteer to go inside :)
shut up, dont you see we are all desperate here? xD
@@myfriendscallmek2745 Yes we all watched the video as an horror :))
Leo is like F*** you lady 😂
Thank you for sharing this i will try thia with my cat the first tip is great
Last time I tried to get my cat in the carrier I ended up in urgent care with 14 puncture wounds. Nothing in this video would work with any of my cats.
Only one of my three cats is impossible putting the carrier. The only way I got her to go in before was to put her in the small bathroom and that isn't easy and itself, then sit quietly a few minutes and then put her in the carrier. In the small space she knows there's nowhere to run. I have a bigger carry on type of carrier for her next outing to get a rabies shot which I've been leaving in the bedroom open with a little catnip in it.
I feed my cat in the carrier from time to time so when I need to really use it I just close it. Any other way he gets quite stressed.
Sounds like a great diet
I have tried all of those tricks on the video and failed miserably. my cat got an inured leg now. She went into the carrier before. Just when I am about to take her to the vet she refused. So here’s what I learned: 1. Type of the carrier matters. Make sure it’s the right sized one if not bigger. Many of the doors are small in the carrier and don’t open all the way. 2. Open Top is always better 3. Easiest carrier is a soft bag type carrier or a carrier that opens all the way for the cat to go in easily. This tilted technique shown in the video will injure an unwilling cat.
How hope you do an episode on injured cats, since injured cats required a lot more care in placing them in the carrier.
Of course you make a demonstration with a cooperative cat. If we look for this kind of video it is because we have a non-cooperative cat. Next!
Staten Island 💜
so after trying for an hour to get my cat in its carrier, i will try anything at this moment. can you try with a psychotic cat?
awe..poor kitty she was a model kitty!
First tip would never work on mine..
My cat trying to kill me is have 10 kg and i try everything cut my hands now I go to the hospital
Leo looks a bit traumatized by being your example. 😅
She's pretty
Yeah no way I’m gonna be able to open up that pillowcase.
Ok now do it with real cats
Wait I’m sorry how do you do it again? 😍
This should have been demonstrated with a non compliant cat like mine. Clearly Leo has done this a hundred times before. The only thing of any value was the towel idea. Please remake the video showing how to do it with a cat that is fighting tooth and claw not to go in.
sure
Poor Leo!!!
Les Schoenberger he’s like. MAKE UP YOUR MIND LADY.
Poor leo
If I could get my cat into a PILLOW CASE I'm CERTAIN I could get him into a cat carrier....
Ya that
Haha this definitely wouldn't work on my new cats. Maybe the towel idea will... I hope it does but that first method... show me you do that to a cat that doesn't want to be picked up.
That cat is pretty calm so its easy, however my cat is really hard to catch I need to bring him to the vet but he is not cooperative.
make sure your cat has positive associations with the carrier so that every time they go into the carrier it is not to go to the vet.
Everyone with calm cats this is how you do it. My cat: throwing an absolute tantrum an resistance at every turn. Yeah this isn’t gonna work
This lady has not met my 7kgr male cat...... lol
That should be easy. I ended with six stitches
Poor Leo...
Open carrier. Place Bacon. Close carrier.
Not really I just found out bacon is good for you
Would you like to trade cats??? 😸
Gently and my cat do not go in the same Sentence.
Cringing at the use of the scruff grab. It’s been proven over and over on all major animal and cat sites like aspca and other veterinary sites. It’s unnecessary and can be very painful for them. This just adds to the already anxious time and then associated with being in the kennel. 👎🏼
This is not a real cat.
Cats be like 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀😿😿😿🐱🐱
That car she is with is easy she should use a cat that hates carrier
poor cat no animals were harmed in this advert
cats in the bag
Poor cat😅
😂😂🥺🥺🙀😿
no wrong
Do not grab that LIVING animal out of that cage like that that cat is grown!
If my cat understand i take out the carrier, you can't find her in home... No way... By the way, beautiful veterinary, you can put me in cage when ever you want :) I wouldn't resist :)
no offence but your not supposed to put your cat in like that dont push it up leave it down and dont grab your cat like that
Jamyla Hawkins if you have a better method, please share. as far as I know, they are showing you the proper methods. i have two cats and these methods work every time.
