ASK DR. SCHELLING I've heard some horror stories about carrier experiences from friends with cats. How can I avoid a bad experience and get my cat used to her carrier? –Maude |

Dear Maude, It's true that most cats do not care for their carriers. As all cat owners know, cats can be very finicky and once they've settled on not wanting anything to do with the carrier you'll be hard pressed to change their minds. The trick to carrier training lies in the proper introduction of your cat and the carrier. Follow the tips in this article on cat carrier training to have a better travel experience.

SUPER HAPPY CATNIP SPRAY: I adore the aroma of catnip— the way it wakes my whiskers and tickles my nose, there is nothing better! It brings out the "play" in me and makes old toys like new & new toys even more fun. … … … … PURRFECT POST DELUXE: I've been known to scratch a rug or two, for some reason the humans don't seem to like this. But now that I have a Purrfect Post Deluxe I could care less about rugs. I love sinking my claws into this sisal post and scratching up a storm. It is also great for a good stretch, it's like my total kitty gym. … … … … Have a favorite product you want to review? Send it to askfancy@mewsletter.com |
