Re: Cat gets berserk when closed in the carrier

This is what I decided hope it is a better and safer plan than taking her with me: I will leave her home with 2 bowls of dry food and 3 bowls of water.

Re: Cat gets berserk when closed in the carrier

I live in Greece, and both vets I consulted reassured me of Calmivet. My vet told me that it might be dangerous for plane travel but not in any other case.
