Haley rosie, most cats will usually protest being in a carrier, and worse yet, travelig in a car. I tried to place their carrier up so they can look out the window. But all that did was make the situation worse. They are not like a dog in this respect. I have found that placing the carrier door so they can see you, and so you can have access to them for some scritchies, seems to work the best. Yet, some of them will protest regardless of what you do. Remembering the day I brought King Otis home, he meowed a couple of times and then curled up and went to sleep for most of the 50-mile trip (75 Km).
