How to outsmart a smart cat...

That's what I'm going to be doing today...trying to outsmart my smart cat, Tony.
He has to go to the "v-e-t" today, you see. Now a couple of weeks ago, I had scheduled all three of my furbabies to go in. But only Jerry and Mup went. Tony proved too clever for me and hid under the bed.
Now, it's his turn. I mean, it's my turn to outsmart him. I've gotta think about this for a few. HOW on earth to get this smart cat into his Pet Taxi??? How to keep him from hiding??? I'll sleep on it. (actually, I'd probably better sleep in my bed; it might be more comfortable).
Speaking of "comfortable": I've been having a slight headache all day today, since dialysis. I know...and I took Excedrin Migraine before I left the house. Well, you see, first of all, the dialysis left me rather tachycardiac (again). Let's see...one blood pressure reading was, I think, 49/28. HOW I managed to be standing and walking, I haven't the slightest idea! And my pulse was over 100. That's what's commonly called tachycardia--high pulse, usually with low blood pressure. I feel it too. I feel slightly lightheaded. That's also what's causing this slight headache I'm having. Not only that, but I am apparently going through what's called "analgesic rebound"...which means that the Excedrin won't be working as well.
I got to thinking....when I have a good, working kidney, I'll probably be soooooooooooo wonderfully thin!! That'd be good. That'd be all I EVER hoped for...to be nice and thin again.
Let's see...Tony..."v-e-t"...and my surgery is next week (the dreaded graft thing)...and Mup gets her little root extracted next Friday...
And pretty soon, it'll be Valentine's Day. Anyone game for being my Valentine?? :-)
