[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 47706, member: 1697"] THANK YOU, everyone! Yes, it is 2 males and one female, all from same litter, all going to get fixed at same time per vets decision due to recovery time at home, they not have one be super energetic and one be "picked on" by the others. The carrier is prolly a dog carrier, it is rather large. The kitties love it here at home, and we have been carrying them around in it when they climb inside of it. They do not mind. Thank goodness the vets office is less than 10 mins away. The one kitty has been on a harness and leash with my oldest daughter Buffy, becuz she wanted to leash walk her cat, but I stopped her becuz now the cat wants to go outside and bolts at the door, and it is NOT safe as we have a raccoon and some coyotes running. This same kitten also does not mind the car as same daughter was also taking this kitten back on visits to its biological cat mommy. One of the other kittens has already been to vet due to prolapsed rectum. But that kitty was only 6 weeks old then and it was just that one kitty, and oldest daughter held kitty en route and at vets. At that time, that kitty was ok in the car and at the vets, but that kitty was also quite ill at the time. I was afraid that leashes would get tangled around each other and around the kittens if we used leashes. We have been trying to find someone who had pet carriers for a couple months in anticipation of the vet visit, but, so far we had not found anyone with any kind of pet carriers at all to be able to borrow any. The kittens will be sleeping over at the vet for one nite. (we are going to take a blanket they use to sleep on with them) I definetly do not want any of the kitties to bolt from car to vets building as it is on the hwy amidst corn fields. Nor do I want any of the kitties climbing up under any of my car seats or under my dash where we cannot get to them. Yes, my previous cats were terribly afraid of not being inside our house, and horrible about the car, I mean absolutely unbelievably horrible. One of them lost all their fur on it's last trip to the vet. :-( (stress, it all simply puffed up and fell out) Consequently that cat never went back to vet or in the car again, but he did live to be 20 yrs old. :-) Thank you, again.
