The only thing that is problematic is to bring black-nose to the vet.

With each of mine (single ones over the years), I've had to serve food or treats, then grab them from behind (firmly grasping all paws) and throw them into the pre-positioned carrier.  Cat T-B. #1 (14 years gone as of May 9 :( ) was expert at perceiving this intended tactic.  With her, and with #2 and current #3, I subsequently put out the carrier several days ahead of actual need, to dull their suspicions.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Ok starting this thread for any and all cat tips. We adopted two 6 month old kittens a week ago. They are adjusting nicely, mostly confined to the Jedi's bedroom until all animals in the house adjust

OK, I'm invading the cat forum, but I did talk about our sweet little girl a while back.   Seems like she has a little cat in her...   She goes to work with us every day and greets

My little weirdos love their carrier, I am lucky.  They just run in when I take it out - both squeezing themselves in.  

 

I am sorry you are missing Cat T-B. #1.  Cats (pets) are great and are really part of the family life and memories.  

 

I bought them new catnip and it was delivered Friday (with food). I had heard that some brands were more potent, so I got the good stuff.  They are REALLY hyper and enjoying it lol (brand is Yeow? not sure of the spelling)

Current Cat T-B. (#3) actually jumped into her carrier to investigate it when she was new.  But she learned.  She now screams nonstop when we do the short drive to the vet.  She's long overdue to a trip to the beauty salon for a 4-wheel manicure.
