Yes its important to be calm. Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately that does not work. If you put his front feet in, he just stiffens so you cant put more of him in.
We dont have a car to get him used to rides in general. Our neighbours, friends or family take us to the vet or theres one...
This is good to know re gabapentin. Cal really does quite well at the appointment. Not Magnus well who is exploring the room and loving up to everyone...but Magnus is a rare cat lol.
It's hard but try to take each moment as it is. One step at a time.
You have a safe home for cats. So nothing will traumatize her. Use gentle words. She might get scared, but you have a nervous cat, so you'll handle it.

Yes my wife and I are studio Ghibli fans! We had the name in consideration for Magnus but ultimately decided against it after a couple days. Cal isnt grumpy like Calcifer but he does like food!
Its okay re:Rc and the toy. Its a great start so dont be discouraged. :) even if just a few minutes...
No offense at all! We're all on the dame team here: Team Keep Our Cats Healthy and Happy!
Since research on cat food is so behind, of course the area is rampant with opinions and we can each only do our best by our cats.
That must have been so hard and scary 💕 Of course you are worried about...
Heat kills cynaide compounds. That's why things like nut shells can be used as litter too.
There's dangers with any litter. Clay is also toxic to lick off their feet...some cats are just able to tolerate it better. 🙃
