My cat is angry, hiding, and terrified of vet visits. What can I do?

Question

My cat recently had started hiding a lot and her behavior changed to now being angry all the time and I tried to take her to the vet but she got so scared to leave the house she peed herself. What should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 years and 6 months old

Poor Rosie! Behavioral changes, especially sudden ones, in cats can definitely indicate an underlying illness or pain. If you can, trying to coax her into the carrier and then placing a towel over it may make it less stressful for her. You can also use something smelly and enticing if she is still eating, such as a little fried chicken or warmed up cat food just to get her in the carrier so you can close it and bring her to the vet. If you can't get her inside one at all, seeing if there is a veterinary housecall service near you that can come to you is another possible option.
