Article: You need to make sure your cat is not disruptive in the vet's office. Simply carrying your cat in your arms can pose a problem, as cats are hard to secure when frightened. If you don't want to use a carrier or don't have one, one alternative is a sports bag. Sports bags are bags designed to carry clothing and other equipment to and from the gym or other sporting events. Many sports bags have nylon material lining the sides, filled with holes that allow for a cat to breath easy through the bag. Owners who feel carriers are uncomfortable for cats sometimes use a sports bag made from nylon to carry their cat and from the vet. Make sure you find a sports bag with at least some nylon or mesh sides so your cat can breath and see his environment when being transported to the vet's office. You also want a sports bag with a secure, flat solid bottom. A bottom that is not supported will sink in when you pick up the bag, causing discomfort for your cat. Many owners equip sports bags with toys, blankets, and other items their cat might find comforting. A cat harness is a device owners use to walk their cats. If you want to take your cat to the vet without a carrier, you could consider using a harness. Make sure you purchase a harness specifically designed for cats. Harnesses designed for small dogs might be dangerous for a cat to use. Let your cat familiarize himself with the harness before you strap him in. Gently drape it over his body. Let him sniff and explore it. Then, gently guide his body into the harness and secure the buckle. Some cats may resist, so you might need another person to help restrain your cat. Allow him to wear the harness for a bit, under supervision, with no leash. Once he seems comfortable in the harness, to the point he's no longer wriggling or attempting to unfasten it, you can secure the leash. Practice walking your cat around the house for a week or so before taking him outside on the leash. Let him adjust to the restraints and wait until he's no longer pulling or resisting before taking him outside with the leash on. Once your cat is comfortable being walked inside, practice taking him on short walks around the block. You should be practicing for a few months before you attempt to take your cat to the vet's office. Remember, a vet's office will have a lot of unusual stimulations, such as ringing phones, strange people, and other animals. You need to practice a lot before you can safely take him to the vet's with a harness. If your cat is older and particularly docile, you may be able to secure him in a basket or bed. However, this is only a good option if you're sure of your cat's temperament. You do not want to risk the safety of your cat and other people and animals present in the waiting room by having your cat jump out and cause a stir. Use this method with caution, as even the most docile cats can get spooked in an unfamiliar or frightening environment such as the vet's office.

Article: Dice your onion. Mince your garlic. Slice or tear your basil leaves up into shreds. Do this before you put your pockets in the oven to bake. Your sauce should take about as much time to cook as your pockets will to bake and then cool off enough to safely handle. Line the bottom of a large saucepan with olive oil. Set the burner to medium-low. Once the oil heats up, add the onions and saute for two to three minutes, or until they turn translucent. Add the garlic, wait one minute, then stir in your tomato paste and saute for one more minute. Pour in your diced tomatoes. Stir in the sugar and basil. Add salt and pepper as desired. Place your pockets in the oven at this point, and let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally (or longer, if the pockets need more time). If desired, use an immersion blender to smooth the sauce out.
