Cats - Pepper cozy in her carrier

This is a sweet picture of Pepper as I attempted to get her comfortable in a carrier.

Since it took five Vet techs to get Pepper into her carrier to bring her to my home, I thought if I got her comfortable, she'd not fear getting into her carrier to go to the vet (haha).

Anyone who has cats knows this is fantasy.... hence being the one and only picture of Pepper calmly in a carrier.

Enjoy!
