Sadie absolutely HATES travelling. She shows her complete disgust at being taken in the car by, (sorry about this!), using her basket as a litter tray. She has a comfortable basket, we only ever go on very short journeys, to the vet, or to the cattery, and of course, she doesn't like going to either of these. She used to go to my mother's house and she loved going there - at that time she had never been in a cattery - but she still "pooped" in the car. I've tried covering her basket so that she can't see out, sitting with her in the back seat and talking to her and stroking her through the door, having the radio on, and nothing seems to work. I've never tried letting her travel in the car without the basket, as I don't think this would be very safe - I'm sure she would just go berserk! And I certainly wouldn't carry her on my knee if I was a passenger - my knees might become the litter tray. Anyone else had this pleasant problem ?
