Hello to all of our cat loving friends, cat ownership is no joke! Our cats are our children and we want only the very best for them. Imgur User and feline behaviorist "adrianaontherocks" is using Imgur as a platform to educate and answer questions about all things feline behavior. "Hi Imgur, I'm your friendly neighborhood feline behaviorist. If you're having a cat behavior issue, or are just curious about something cat-related, feel free to ask me about it and I'll see if I can help you out." Thanks, Adriana! We have tons of questions and appreciate your expertise!
Today we're tackling all things crate training. Adriana clarifies exactly what she's referring to: "a few people seem to think I am talking about crate training for leaving your cat in their crate while you are gone, overnight, etc. To be clear, this is absolutely NOT what I'm talking about. This is advice for vet visits, moves, evacuating." via Imgur. Got it, now let's learn!
What an excellent suggestion! By creating a more comfortable environment for our cats in the physical vicinity of the crate, the cats become more comfortable with the crate as well! As Adriana says, this doesn't always work, but heck it's a great place to start.
Comfort is key!! If your cat doesn't feel comfortable with his crate or just has too much of a negative association with it, it might be time to consider replacing it with a more comfortable option. Size is also key here, some cats prefer smaller crates, some prefer bigger.
