Cats and Carriers, Friends not Foes

This is a wonderful video from the Catalyst Council about training your cat to be comfortable in it's carrier.  I find that there is a lot of cats that don't get the medical attention that they need because they are hard to get into their carriers or are extremely stressed while riding in the car.  This is a 5 step process to help a new cat or an already scared cat make the carrier a positive experience.
I will add that in this video the seat belt is wrapped around the covered carrier for car transport, but it is also helpful in an uncovered carrier to run the seat belt through the upper handle of the carrier to prevent sliding.  They also don't explain why a cat carrier should be in the back seat.  An airbag can be life threatening in pets. If any of you have been hit by an airbag, you know it hurts!  This forceful impact can easily break bones in an animal, soooo always the back seat for pets!!!
