Your doing such a wonderful job with Ms. Cockshutt! And, what a fantastic surprise to find out she is not a feral cat at all ! Very loving. I do wish you good luck getting her into the crate tomorrow. What I usually do, even with friendlies, is to leave a carrier in their safe room at all times and feed them inside the carrier in the beginning so they get used to going in and out of the carrier. On the day of their vet appt., I put a very small amount of extremely tempting food inside the carrier and then just close them inside once they go in to eat. Of course, this is usually how I do it with a more frightened cat that I cannot pick up. Hopefully your Ms. Cockshutt will not give you too much trouble. Another option is to swaddle her - wrap her in a towel and then gently place her in the carrier, releasing her in the towel and quickly closing the door.
