Answer:
Every cat benefits from learning to relax inside a kennel. This prepares the cat for traveling with less stress and safely whether to a friend’s house, for boarding or for a medical visit.

Select a cloth-type portable kennel that can fit under an airplane seat or a hard plastic crate that is easier to clean and keep long term.

Put the open kennel in your cat’s favorite location, on a dresser or by a favorite window is ideal. Make sure nothing bad happens in or around the kennel and make the kennel the best place to be. Add a cushy bed. Feed in kennel, play in and around the kennel and hide treats and sprinkle cat nip in the kennel.

For two weeks, only look at, speak to and love up the cat around and inside the kennel. Otherwise, the cat is ignored. Close the kennel door for short periods after a few weeks and during a good meal!
