Cat owners, I need some advice on how to calm down a cat in a (soft) carrier.
I'm going to be flying from Berlin to Barcelona. It's mercifully not a long flight. My first cat is pretty much fine with being stuck in a carrier; a friend will be carrying him. My second cat goes nuts, so I'm going to be carrying her.
For context they've had the carriers around for three weeks now, they've been regularly fed treats and given toys inside. When she is placed inside and zipped in though she presses her face extremely hard against the mesh front and wheezes real bad.
Eventually she calms down but I'm going to have to take her out of the carrier for the security check and I'm utterly terrified of the fact that she's most likely going to be clawing away and refusing to be put back in. Scruff grip does nothing when she's panicking, Feliway does nothing.
Help.

Calming supplements. I've had good success with Happy Traveler

>>2063983

>>2063988

As someone who flew half way across the world with my two cats, don't give them any food or water for several hours before the flight. Make sure they use the litter box before you leave.
My vet also told me that you can give them a piece of children's benadryl.
You will have to get them out of the case and go through security holding them too. So consider that.

How do you force a cat to take a shit?
>>2063982
>people bring their cats on planes
Wot?
>>2064072
Squeeze.
Just put them in the room with the liter box, close the door, don't give them any food or water, and wait it out.
you can't come up with a better way to transport your disgusting vermin ?
why not shoot them in the head and get new ones when you get to spain ? aren't kittens a diamond dozen?

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Interjet in Mexico offers you to travel with your pet and not in the cargo bay

Just do not feed neither give water 24 hours before your flight. You can not force a cat but eventually will use the litter box. Just be patient
