Re: Slugger

Auralie,
Over the years I've had similar problems.  I can control it somewhat by
timing their appointments and withholding food until afterwards.  I have a
rough idea on who hits the litterbox at a certain time.  Admittedly urine
isn't as easy to control.  I always line the carrier with a towel and I
often bring an extra towel in case.  My main messer is Jack - but from the
other end. The minute he goes into the carrier he begins to drool.  The vet
is a half hour away.  It's much worse if I take 2 at a time because the
drool gets all over the other cat too.
