I purchased a cat backpack when I had just got my kitten. I followed all the guidelines and she hates the pack with a passion and won’t go in for any reason. She won’t allow the leash either. She will, however, readily jump up on my shoulder and stay there all around the house without drawing blood. She’s an indoor cat, because there are too many dogs around with my neighbors, and I have had too many cats killed by dogs. Your teacher’s voice is so harsh I can’t listen any more, I am not learning anything I haven’t tried. My cat did door dash once and she was out overnight, I did what the neighbor ap comments suggested and made a "comfort station on the open back porch and she was there in the AM. She hasn’t door dashed since.

I will be taking my 4 year old cat by plane from Ontario to Vancover in June. GREY is a very sensitive kitty and I worry about this upcoming event. GREY is toyslly an indoor cat so I am rxpecting some issues with this travel.
He has never had a collar let alone a harness.
GREY panics with loud noises i.e. fire drills.
So how do I keep GREY calm through this flight.
