Right now I have no cage to practice on, but I will be looking out for something to use. Tsekani hates getting into his travel crate however. After reading the thread about getting ready to show, I figure that I will work on crating and caging.
Tsekani has access to the whole house right now. He sleeps with me, or wherever he wants to. When I take him places, it's a battle to get him into his crate, but once he's in the vehicle he settles down.
I have been thinking of placing treats in the crate, or feeding him inside the crate (with the door open) until he gets used to being in there.
Next question - should I look for a specific crate, or can I make do with a rabbit cage or something similar? I am not in a place that sells anything cat show related. Should I keep Tsekani in the cage for certain lengths of time? What if he yowls and/or tries to get out?
