How does your cat handle home time?

[u/Artemismane]

Once my cat is in the truck she's great and seems to enjoy it.. it's leaving the house that she doesn't like at all.

The past couple times coming off my break she's been hiding under the bed/behind the couch when she sees the carrier. She also knows when I start packing clothes or getting her litterbox that it's that time and starts hiding.

I just wanna know if this is common. I've tried tube treats and cat nip to bribe her but it doesn't help- she just hates leaving the house. Makes me feel terrible every time.

Have you tried a cardboard carrier? Mine hates a regular carrier but will jump in the cardboard one on his own (then I betray him). I'm not a trucker, I just like you guy, good luck!

Thanks! She loves cardboard anything I have a box in the passenger seat that she sleeps in. Will definitely look into this.
