{{Katie-Bee}} I'm sorry for your loss, but agree that it is the easiest way for all.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
From the records, she's been prescribed gabapentin before--the problem would be getting it into her; she's a big girl and I suspect will be just about un-pillable unless we can find a pill pocket she thinks is yummy enough.
I was looking at this carrier: top *and* front opening, or this one: similar, but boxier (but maybe the open sides will make her more anxious and she needs something more covered?). She's a bit of a chonker--somewhere between 15 and 20 lbs.

I'd crush the pill and mix it in wet food.
I had a carrier with roll up side panels so I could cover the mesh, but I am not seeing any like that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm so sorry, Katie Bee.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, Katerina Bee.

Hey Sheryl. How is your day going?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Gabapentin in capsules is the way to go... open the capsule into wet food, stir it in, no flavor. That is how Harvey gets his twice daily, since the last time I pilled him my medical bills were higher than his trip to the emergency vet because cat bites Are Bad.
Some of the PetMate plastic carriers are easy to simply take apart around the cat. I have done that a time or two. This style [link] with latches holding the top half to the bottom half instead of screws. Also, your mom may want to consider leaving the carrier out all the time, throwing treats into it, so it is part of kitty's daily life and is less alarming when it comes out for trips to the vet.
