Need advice about taking highly-strung cat to vet

I have an appt in the first week of January to take her in, and I've been stressing about it. She's "part feral" if there's such a thing and she's very much on her guard nearly all the time (except when she's sleeping). I can't even pick her up without her having a fit-- she's very quick and always eludes me.

So I'm wondering if anyone has an idea of how to put this skittish little creature into the cat carrier without a full-scale freak-out. She hides under my bed so it's hard to corner her. Anyone else have problems like this?

I'd be grateful to hear any ideas.

Thanks!

Don't see it listed when I look at the California group though when I look up My Posts, there it is.

Newsom's Lockdown May Be Working according to the latest numbers

Almost exactly two weeks after California Governor Gavin Newsom announced what became a new lockdown for most of the state’s population, the daily number of new cases has fallen for five successive days. Granted, those numbers are dropping from an all-time new daily case high for the state — or any state, for that matter — of 53,711 announced last Wednesday.

Since then, numbers have dropped steadily, from a slight dip to 52,281 on Friday to the much-lower 32,659 recorded on Tuesday. That’s a 39.2% drop in less than a week and good news to beleaguered Californians.

State and local health officials have often said it would take 2-3 weeks to see the first impact of any new restrictions on daily numbers. Tuesday’s drop seems in accordance with that prediction.
