Good luck Kylie, it's not going to be too bad and I'm sure your mom will give you extra treats when you get home!!

I love the word portaprison, I'm sure that that's how Prema sees it. All mine hate to travel in it but Prema is particularly scared. She hates all closed spaces as a matter of fact, I suppose that comes from living all bandaged up for 4 months in a tiny cage at the shelter. She looks like a demon butting her head against the door, scratching like mad I'm also so scared that she might hurt herself. Then, as soon as I step outsite she freezes and starts shaking and won't move a muscle until we're back. Even at the vets she sits on the table shaking with her face tighly pressed against my elbow.

Her fear of travelling means that I can't go anywhere with her. Since it gets so hot in August over here I used to send my cats on "holiday" in the mountains where my parents used to live. I missed them of course but I could go every weekend and spend some time in cooler weather. They loved it up there anyway, but I was never able to take Prema there, nor go there myself since I don't like leaving her all alone overnight. So I think I will have to invest in some air con
