to take to vet. At that point he showed his true feral self - I was terrified the whole way to the vets and when we got there the vet said there was no way they could examine him without putting him under. So we came home, he shot out of the carrier like a bullet train and I thought for sure I'd never see him again. 15 minutes later he was at the back door looking for dinner.

She sat quietly in the carrier on my lap...

Congrats to you and Josie!
