Has anyone had the bright idea of taking their cat to the vet in the cardboard box it refuses to get out of?

I find it easier to just leave the carriers out for a while after each use (like a week) and open so they treat them like the boxes. Never had a cat hate a carrier since.

I leave ours out and open all the time, even toss a toothy-treat in there occasionally. She will poke her head in and steal a treat, but she still doesn't trust the carrier. I wouldn't either, never knowing if I'd get locked in and find myself at a doctor's appointment.
