You could try posting an old (but obviously clean!) baking tray or frying pan underneath, then pouring the contents (lovely!!) into a pot to take to the vet's.

A foil take-away carton taped to a stick works - tricky though!

I do it two ways it depends on whether they do it on flags/concrete  or grass if it is on flags and pools (I have a cat who is diabetic so always have needles to hand) I draw the pee up without touching the ground..they only need a bit if I cant do this I use a saucer when they stoop shove it under from the back.
I always ask vet for a plastic bottle to put the pee in it always useful to have one handy .

Hi,

I find a ladel easiest to do this.  Pour some boiling water over the ladel first just to make sure it's completely clean, then away you go  :-)
