Jessie getting to know the new carrier

Here we go……this project is underway and step #1 is complete.

The on-going quest to take our cat on a camping trip continues. To that end we purchased a soft-sided carrier for her to travel in.

This is the very first thing we had to do; purchase some kind of container to keep her from crawling under the brake pedal or somewhere else and cause a wreck.  And since the cat is very wary of enclosed spaces, putting her inside this carrier (in spite of its cloth walls and fabric windows) may be difficult, or really hard.  I mean, there is the distinct possibility she will be freaked out forever.  Or she will enjoy the trip.  One or the other.

Anyway, this cat-carrier was purchased for thirty bucks over at Wal-Mart.  It has a canvas exterior, nylon mesh for windows, and zippered access at the front and top. It also sports a metal-tube frame to help maintain its rectangular shape. I am certain over time that will be an important feature.  The carrier seems very strong and durable.

For the next week or so we will be trying to familiarize her with it in hopes of a trouble free experience.

Uh huh.

Will let you know how that goes.

Wish us luck!
