Minimize the Stress of Cat Transport
What cat parent doesn’t dread placing his or her cat in the carrier for a vet visit? For some of us, it becomes a battle of wits. Yet, regular wellness exams for preventive care are vital to your feline friend’s health. So, acquiring “carrier skills” is worthwhile. Here are some tips to make transport easier and less stressful:
- If possible, try to get your cat used to car trips—make it not always about a trip to the vet.
- Spraying Feliway into the carrier will encourage your cat to explore it and help your cat to associate “positive thoughts” with the carrier.
- Keep a fresh catnip toy or sprinkle fresh catnip leaves in the carrier while it is out to let your cat get comfortable with it, and then put an additional fresh catnip toy or fresher catnip in the carrier for the car ride.
- Put clothing or a towel recently used by your cat’s favorite person inside the carrier just before transport.
- At least 30 minutes before putting your cat in the carrier, spray Feliway on the entrance.
- Drape a blanket over the carrier, which can make cats feel safer.
- And, above all, try to relax while putting your cat in the carrier. Cats are very sensitive to their person’s moods, so if you’re tense when putting your cat in the carrier, your cat will associate “tenseness” or “danger” with the carrier and do their best to get away.
