A gradual plan that helped my cat feel safe in her carrier

Mia Carter Scout and Nori owner / 1 day ago
Nori used to hide as soon as the carrier appeared. We left it open as ordinary furniture, built positive associations in short sessions, and avoided forcing her inside. This diary records what changed over six weeks.

The useful part of this diary is choice: the carrier stays available, rewards arrive around it, and the door is introduced only after the cat enters comfortably. Progress should be measured by relaxed behavior, not speed.
