with the door closed and you in with him to find that there is
no fear. At this time you will want to be talking to him
assuring there is nothing wrong. For the first day do this a few
times, so that they start to get comfortable. One thing you will
want to do is take a few of the cat's favorite items that are
small. Remember the goal is a small pet carrier so there will
not be a lot of room for other items. Favorite toy, blanket,
pillow or any small item that is his will help with him to be
comfortable. One of the reasons for this is the item has his
scent on it so this will tell him that this is also part of his
territory. During the stay, you will want to have small treats
to give him for reward for being good. Petting him and making a
relaxed atmosphere will also be important.

accomplished, the next step is to find a carrier
that is right for him. Learning and searching sites and talking
to pet store about this will help you with the right choice. You
do not want a carrier that is too big and too small. There are
also different types of carriers. You may at this time want to
learn more about collapsible houses to use on the trip. This
will make the cat happy and safe when you are at your
destination. Your cat will be able to have an area that is
confined but also for the cat to enjoy fresh air and the view.
With the carrier you will want to open it and make sure the door
is securely open. At this point you do not want the cat to get
trapped in the carrier. Now put some of the cats favorite toys,
blanket, pillow or items that you used in the closet, put them
in the carrier. This will attract him to be curious about

carrier. Catnip is a scent that cats love and will attract them.
Once you have let the carrier out for a couple of days and see
that your cat has become really curious and maybe not entered it
yet. This will be a time that you will want to play games with
the cat. Put the favorite toy that you play with in the carrier
tell him to find it. Show the cat where it is, by placing him in
front of the carrier. Once this is achieved, play with him in
the carrier. Put the cat carefully and gentle in the carrier
while petting and making him relaxed. Once you have done this
play with the toy to let him know that he doing a good job.
Remember to reward your cat when he is doing a good behavior.
Once this has been done and you are able to move away from the
carrier a few time in the next couple of

play time. This will allow the cat to get use to the carrier.
After you see that he is achieved this, now is the time to work
slowly with the door. Place the door in a closed position while
talking to him. Then open the door do this for a few times to
make sure that he is comfortable with it. Once you see that he
is comfortable then you will want to close the door, not locked
just closed and move away. So that he is able to see you but you
are not right there. Do this for a couple of days or till he is
comfortable.
Next step lock the door, making sure he is comfortable with the
actions. Make sure closing and locking is not making any loud
noises as this will startle him and it might be the end of kitty

there should be no resistant to him being in the carrier with
the door lock.
Finally pick up the carrier with him in it and walk around the
room. You should do this for a couple of times till you know
things are working. Now the challenge is taking the carrier to
the car, place it so that your cat can see you. Now go for your
first ride. Remember loud noises will startle him. Drive
quietly, safely with him in the car. This will be very important
not only the first time but every time.
Once things are comfortable for you and your cat, pack your
bags, the cats items you will need to take with and off you go
on your trip. Have a save and enjoyable one.
