    Traveling In The Car /desperate

    She doesn't give up. I've tried her in the soft bag, she rolls around and still manages to hurt herself. Containing her makes her panic. Driving with another person is a nice idea, but 10 hours in a car with yowling cat is not anybody's idea of a fun time, and then they'd have to fly to...

    Traveling In The Car /desperate

    We've gone to the vet for this before, multiple times. I would like to say that I've had her for going on seven years, we travel somewhat frequently because jobs and school and surgery. I've never hit her before. I doubt I will again. I had had a very long day going on four hours of sleep. I...

    Traveling In The Car /desperate

    I'm also not trying to make excuses for my actions. I still can't quite believe I did that. But also I can, because I was there, and I did it. She's happy, purring with me. Not injured. I cannot put myself in that sort of situation again. I was a shitty cat mom. It's inconsistent with our...

    I would definitely say that a smack on the side is better than tearing her claws apart and having a bloody face. She's a mess... Cannot be contained. I know it's a safety issue with driving. But seriously. I've tried training her with a carrier, and calm music, and pheramones, and feeding her in...

    Thank you so much. I think the pheramone collar I got once smells too strong, so I might hide part in her bed.(not sures who approved that for sensitive kitty nose). She likes it when I sing, and I'll have lots of podcasts. I'll spray my car tomorrow night so it has time to settle, and really...

    Thank you both so much! All those tricks with carriers, I've tried with no success. If I want her nose and paws unijured, she cannot be contained. I'd prefer if she'd be quiet laying down somewhere in the car, but if my lap is what works best, I better just not crash the car. ((I went off my...

    So is it better to just drown her out, then to tell her "no!" For a particularly wrenching yowl/ praise her when she's being quiet and calm. Which she is capable of. It's like she's having panic attacks. Should I try Xanax for the fourth time? I think being high makes her moremanxious...

    Traveling In The Car /desperate

    I love my cat. She's my world. She's curled on my chest as I type (with full access the a large house and another gentle human). She's a perfect cat. She always licks after she chomps, I got her from a failing no kill shelter when she was a year old, and have had her for 6 years now. She's a...
