Cuddles first, chauffeur home next! 😻Reginald popped in this morning for pats and his post castration checkup, then hopped straight into his carrier after a cuddle. 🐾 That “scary carrier” can become a familiar little safe space with time and positive experiences! Leave it out at home with the door secured open, add familiar bedding and encourage your cat to explore at their own pace with treats and praise. Getting comfortable with the carrier before appointment day can help reduce stress on the journey and at the clinic. A little practice at home can make a big difference! Does your cat happily climb into their carrier, or disappear as soon as it comes out? 😸
