I had a cat who I had to take to the vet after a big fight and puncture wounds etc.
This might sound crazy, but prior to going to the vet I had a serious talk with her, I sat her down like I was talking to a person, and gave her lots of love and affection. And told her it might hurt but she has to stay calm.
When I took her to the vet she was unusually very calm, even with big dogs in the waiting room. I didn't even have a cat cage just a leash and sat her on my lap. She was amazing and stayed calm even with the vet shoving a thermometer up her ass and injecting her.
Talk to your cat! I think he'll understand on some level. Give him lots of pats and affection before and after.
