How to habituate your cat to the carrier?

The time has arrived.Your little fellow and you have to go out of home together, travel, go to the veterinarian, make a visit to a friend... Any everyday situation will make you need your cat travel in a transportin, one of the most usual, suitable and secure ways to go with him anywhere.

A process that can become a nightmare if you don’t habitate with patience and affection with your little to the carrier.The goal will be to make it see the artillugio as a comfortable and safe place, in whose interior it feels protected.That’s why we want to help you get your cat used to the transport.And we will do it for each of its phases – to be inside, to move, to go on a vehicle, etc. – in a simple way with some basic advice.

Phase 1: Positive contact with the carrier

The first purpose will be to make your cat have a positive experience of contact with the object that has just entered your home and is used to seeing it.

• It is best to start get used to your pet when it is a dog there is no negative association with the transport.The work will be much easier.
• First of all, remove the front door the transportin so that your minis can explore it freely inside and outside without any kind of trave.
• Do not hide it. Place it from the beginning in a visible place of the house, preferably where your hair is comfortable and quiet, so that it passes to become a strange to familiar object.To help you in this task you can place an object with a well-known smell, like a mantra, inside it so that it connects it with your home and your natural habitat, not as something outside.
• Once you’ve got familiar with the presence of the new “appareil” you can start place your comedian near every day and go approaching it slowly until it is placed within the transport.This will make your cat associate it with a positive and pleasant experience and end up introducing it only inside to eat.You can choose between food and food food for Dibaq cats– hide some bullshit inside the car and if you discover your little inside take the opportunity to reward it.
• Another way to get used to your little to entering and out of the “box” naturally are the games. You can place in your favorite toy to draw your attention.
• Remember your cat you will never have to enter force in the car. That’s why you need to use “cebs” and games to make you feel attracted to it in a natural and positive way.So you’ll get it out of a strange environment.
• When your little enters and comes out of the apparatus, it will be the time to put the doorbut don't try to close it at the beginning because it's going to feel scratched.It begins by moving the door when it is inside and giving it a prize for staying quiet.If you want to get out, don’t block it.Steadyly raise the time you keep the door shrinked and premiate it through the grids until you can close the door completely, always in sessions of less to more time.

Phase 2: Get used to the movement

This is moving!That will think your minis the first time you lift the transportin from the ground, so you have to get used to the new feeling of movement.

• Take the car with your cat insidebut first do it only from up to down, without moving.It increases slowly the time you keep the cage in the air.
• It begins to give small steps to make short trips inside the house with the carrier in the hand and your cat inside it.
• It always progresses gradually, starting by making short tracks inside the house, up and down stairs and going out to the street to give longer walks with your hair in the transportin.
• It will be better than the the first places you go to are pleasant don’t take your cat to the veterinarian the first time you travel in the carrier – so it feels that it also serves to go to fun and interesting places.
• When you arrive at the destination do not force him out. Leave the door open and let him be the one who feels curiosity and goes out alone.

Phase 3: Travel by Car

Probably you need to introduce your little one in the transportin to make a car trip and more now that the summer approaches.That is why you will also have to get used to the movement of the vehicle, which sometimes can be very stressful for the animal.

• Start by putting the car with your cat in the car and binding it to the seat and then returning home.All this not running the engine to make the hair get used to the new place.
• After a few days of testing, start the car and start moving short and low speed and, if possible, on the straight line.You should gradually go increasing the time and complexity of the journey until you move freely by car with your little one.
• You can use, as in the first phase, toys or toys for awarding good behaviorThe.Or also leave you a handheld or home towel so that you associate the family smell with the car trip.This will make you more calm and relaxed.

If you are patient and affectionate, you will get your cat used to travelling on transportin.Keep in mind that the felinos learn from the experience, so if every time you enter your cage you get a prize or a positive experience, your hair will associate this gratification with the transportin.

You will have everything done!You will have become the best travel companions.
