Bag? Don't you have a standard cat carrier? It has got to be very difficult to get a cat into a bag. If you buy a carrier she may be curious about it and go right inside. She will feel more comfortable about the carrier if she can come and go as she pleases so don't lock her inside the first time she goes in.

Being that cats love to get into cardboard boxes, did you think of trying that? Can you get one with a stable lid? Pre-cut some holes in the sides for her to see out and give that a try if nothing else works.

Whatever you try, do it ahead of time to make sure it works so it doesn't come time for the vet and you can't get her in the box.

My old girlfriend had a cat that would run and hide as soon as the carrier was brought out. He was a tough one to get inside the carrier, put up a good fight. She ended up buying a ferret cage and because he didn't know what it was for, he didn't run from it... that is, the first time. After the trip to the vet it was a different story. :wink:
