Easiest way is to put the kennel on its end and drop them in. It's still not easy but it works better than having it on its side as most people do it.

putting them in butt first also helps, in my experience.

it does, but he still squirms, kicks and whines.

definitely helps having 2 extra hands to hold the carrier upright while one attempts to contain the cat

I can agree with this.

My dogs love to ride with us in the car. I don't mind our chihuahua getting in our lap while we drive either... It isn't that big of a problem...

You = horrible driver
Anyone that lets a pet into their lap while driving is equally horrible.

Anyone who lets an animal sit on their lap while driving should not be allowed to drive any longer, IMO.

I dont think Trident has a license yet or he just recently got it. I think he's referring to when he's a passenger

make sure you get the hard carrier mentioned above. the mesh ones a cat can chew or claw through- it happened to my mom on a plane.

Fucking magical.

He wants teh attenshion.

It's better to make a thread, and then have it eventually get listed in Google search.
Why? Because eventually all of life's questions will be answered on Google in the form of a forum-thread result. I'd give it a few more years. :)

Heh, i got two bobcats and some domestic cats, you either buy a transportation box if you plan to transport them a lot or if you are just going to transport them once- twice a year you have someone pet them while you're driving.

How it this a hard thing to figure out?
