Why a cat carrier?

Planning on getting a new cat? A cat carrier is the very first thing you need to buy. No matter how doclie your new feline is, it should never ever be transported outside the home unless safely confined in a good solid cat carrier. When adopting from a friend, a shelter or buying from a breeder, make sure you arrive with the right carrier bag or box, or you risk having your new companion running and getting lost.

How to Get Your Cat Into the Carrier?

With some cats, it can be as easy as gently holding the cat, placing it into the carrier and securing the opening. However, don't be discouraged if this is not the case with your own fluffball.

Using behavioral techniques, you can help your feline like the carrier, making those necessary journeys outdoors easier on everyone. The key is in gradual habituation to the carrier, allowing your cat to discover it in its environment and explore its qualities as a pet bed and hiding place.

A good way to dispel stress is by spraying Feliway around and inside the carrier. It can really help your cat relax and make the carrier into a more inviting place for her.
