Need advice!
I have a nine year old who simply cannot stand to be confined in a carrier while traveling (tortoiseshell - go figure). If I use a hard sided carrier, she scratches her nose off, and if I use a mesh one, she chews through it. Even tried a carseat, and that didn't stop the screaming. She's always been like this, but has gotten worse as she's gotten older. The ONLY way she's quiet is if she's allowed to roam the car, which I hate for safety reasons.
Any ideas of how to calm her down? Or at least ideas of an escape proof cat carrier? She's started panting the first few minutes in the car from stress (not heat - we cool the car off before putting her in) and I'm getting worried about her. Not traveling is not an issue, unfortunately.
