I have a 8-10 months old domestic cat. I've been trying to teach her how to stay in the carrier tried all kind of things and tutorials online but nothing worked, cat nips, treats, food, games, ticking tricks, ...etc and after 4 months nothing changed at all. I went to the vet to get any kind of sedatives because I'll be traveling soon in the airplane and I don't want the cat to annoy the hell out of everyone specially that the flight is an international flight. Anyway, I went to two vets asking for mild sedatives and they don't sell any for some reason. Then I visited couple petshops to get anything to relax her I got the spray, a new carrier, and some treat that (relaxes her) nothing worked at all! She goes crazy and never stops meowing no matter what I do or how I do it. If I don't find a way to solve this I'm afraid I'll either leave her with a friend or put her in a shelter. too bad!
anyone got advices or anything... also some notes, I vet told me to try little of benadrylin or whatever it's called the antihistamine they told me it works as a mild sedative, but that didn't work and I won't increase the dose it might hurt her can't take my chances here... Also, catnips makes her go extremely hyper and crazy running all the time and hitting the walls or anything ..etc
