Kenna is 8 months old, and generally well-tempered. We have a boat that we tend to visit on weekends, and we've increasingly tried to take her along, reasoning that she'd rather be with us than not. Especially since we'll be taking several trips this summer.
Anyway, she doesn't mind the boat itself, but she HATES being sealed in a cat carrier and transported by car. She whines like a violin, and that's if we manage to get her in there. She's not only smart, she's also slippery as an eel. The same trick seldom works twice, and I don't like having to mandhandle her in there.
Discovered that covering the carrier with a coat when in the car helps keep her calm, but it doesn't make it any easier to get her in.
The carrier itself is fabric with mesh door and mesh top. It even has a foldout side room that she won't use because she's too tense. Any ideas for making this less traumatic?
