Transporting a cat
Transporting a cat
Babe (see avatar) had to go to the vet this morning for a glucose curve and her cage (26" L x 18" W x 16" H) is really awkward to carry and take on the bus. So instead, I bought this folding garden wagon:

and carted her there. It worked great. The wagons are also available at Home Depot but cost about a third more. I know that post is not Linux related, but there are a lot of cat 'staff' here.

Re: Transporting a cat
Now that is a smart solution, and less heavy on the arms too!
How did the curve go?

Re: Transporting a cat
My Jonny would like that. He is a bit too fat and too comfortable. But if he saw something interesting, he would jump out of the car. Did you tie Babe up? I hope Babe is all right again.
Re: Transporting a cat
No, I put Babe in the cage and then put the cage in the wagon.

Re: Transporting a cat
The curve is an all day thing and I pick her up tonight at 7:00pm. If it goes well it means that she is off the twice daily insulin injections. The vet will call me with the results tomorrow and I'll report back.Eadwine Rose wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2019 10:56 am Now that is a smart solution, and less heavy on the arms too!

Re: Transporting a cat
Brilliant! Thanks for the tip
My cat is ~6kg so I always strain my arms carrying her cage to the vets, I think I will try this next time...
I hope your cat's results are OK.

Re: Transporting a cat
We live on a very steep hill in the Catskill Mountains and the vet is down in town about two miles away. That would wear me out pulling the wagon! My wife asks me to haul the carrier into her car for her. But I lived in the city I would use the wagon for sure. Good idea. Did you fold up the wagon before getting on the bus?

Re: Transporting a cat
No. The vet is about a mile and a half away and I walked, pulling the wagon, both ways. There are a couple of hills on the route but nothing really daunting.seaken64 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 12:03 am We live on a very steep hill in the Catskill Mountains and the vet is down in town about two miles away.

Re: Transporting a cat
The vet called and Babe did really well on the test, however she (the vet) wants feels it's time to be cautious. She told me to reduce the insulin dosage down from 2.5 units twice a day to 1 unit twice a day and continue that for two weeks. At that point, Babe will get another glucose cure done and if she produces the same numbers (about 6 MOL) I will be able to stop the insulin injections permanently.
