Hi, David P. What I do is put Groucho's carrier in a quiet, out of the way corner and leave the door open. He often goes in there to sleep, brings his toys (especially Q-Tips, he loves them but we make sure he only has them when we're around). It has become a familiar get-away that's all his. Getting him into it when necessary is no problem, he just walks right in and closes the door behind him.
