As all of you have heard from me before on kennels.... I leave mine out in the living room and bedroom and these are my babies "safety zones", their "beds" and such. They sleep in them a lot, they are part of my house, like my sofa and chair. When they are in them, no one is allowed to touch them, it is their own, personal, private space. So, they sleep in them a lot at home. They do not associate the kennels with vets or car rides ONLY...They associate them with "SAFETY ZONE".. Sometimes when it is time to go to the vets, I pick up the kennel and put it down, they will get in it all by themselves, with Amy and Giz, it is a race to see who can get in there first. Vet visits are so few and far between that by the time it is time to go back to the vet, they have forgotten about him and "that place".
Since my job requires that I leave them with their second families, they do travel more than most kitties. As long as Chester is in HIS kennel, he is happy to just sit up and look around. Amy does NOT like traveling and she just lays there, looks at me so pitiful and howels!! Having Giz in the kennel with her helps a LOT. Midnight does not like traveling either.
Anyway to your question, I think if you leave that new kennel where she can nap and play in it and it is a part of her everyday life, it will help comfort her when she goes to the vet. It is a place she will feel safe and comfortable in and she will not be nearly as scared.
And remember to ALWAYS, BELT those kennels in with the seat belts! These are your fur kids and they should be treated as valuable cargo!

So everyone knows about Peanut's house in the dining room. It's a nice brick, suburban type house with flowers around it. Well, she now has a vacation spot. Her carrier is upstairs and she is going in it regularly now, so we've decided to call it her cabin up north. So she was sitting on the front porch of her cabin last night when her daddy got home. Then Terry and I were downstairs and I asked him where Peanut was and he said she was up north in her cabin. Next thing you know I'll be printing out pages of logs to use as siding on her carrier....:rolleyes: ;) :D

OMG Debbie, that's just too funny!!! :D :D :D
If you do put logs on the side of the carrier, then I definitely think she needs a trail leading to some beachfront property.

Miss Peanut now has TWO properties!! :eek: She is becoming quite a tycoon!

I was thinking maybe a grass hut but since it is "up north" I guess it should be a log cabin!
