 That sounds like about as good a way as any ... :-)

 No reason for that ...

 Been there. Tried it.  Cat not interested enough to put
 anything but nose into carrier.  I figure that if I push
 her in, it will reinforce her adversion for the thing.
 Maybe if I put her cat food inside and fed her there at all
 times, she might enter willingly.  Or we might have a
 mighty svelt kitty ...
