She’s a foster about 4-5mo old. Hates cat carrier. Want to turn this around. Highly food motivated
so today decided to put wet food in carrier and her with it. She had a full on panic attack meltdown in the carrier and couldn’t even think about food. Just escape. For about 1/2h. Felt having started I shouldn’t stop til she got the food rewards. But she beat me, and I gave up.
She could see me and her bestie right there, and she would not calm down (well just one short period of sitting and staring out window then back to escape attempts, ignored food).
I had to give up. So failed this attempt.
Considering this for at least 1 wet mealtime per day until she gets over it? Or is there a better way?
