Fear Free Friday - Carrying Your Pet to the Hospital

Today's fear free tip involves your kitty's carrier. The most obvious way to carry our cat carrier seems to be to use the handle on top of the carrier. However, this method can be stressful for our feline friends. When carrying with the handle, the carrier tends to swing, and sometimes may even get bumped into your legs, walls and door frames. Imagine what that must look and feel like from your stressed cat's point of view!
Cats feel better when they feel more secure. Therefore, we should try to carry the carriers by cradling them from the bottom. This simple trick can help make the trip a bit less bumpy for our feline friends.
