Safe Haven....

Yesterday, i went to PetSmart to make a purchase for little Lola. I had been looking on Craigslist for a cat carrier for our move, since she will have to be in it for the larger portion of a day. But after thinking about it, i decided to buy her a new one since she is already stressed easily & having to smell someone else's animal in a used carrier was just going to make it worse. Plus i decided i wanted a soft sided one so she could see out & maybe it wouldn't seem so "clinical" as the one she was transported here in when we got her. I imagine she remembers that well, so i don't want to freak her out. So when i got home, i unzipped one end & snapped it under so that she could go in if she wanted & she went right in! But she didn't get cozy or anything. So last night, i put her cat bed in there that she loves to sleep in & now all day i have seen this......


I am going to leave it out for her over the next few weeks so that it isn't a scary thing when we move (i am sure having to be zipped into it might be a bit scary, but not as scary as the first time ever going into something like this). So i hope that by the time we actually move her, she will think of this as her little safe haven at the new house. I will leave it unzipped & open for her there for a little while until she gets used to her new digs!
