Good points, gun and generally true. I do have one cowering ninny, though, who just likes to bury his head in the blankies and never see where he is going!**BG** I always put a cover over his carrier.

Just a note about the importance of carriers. My brother was in a very serious car wreck in the middle of blizzard conditions two years ago in January. Out in the middle of the vast Wyoming prairie. Coming home with his cats from a Christmas visit with our mom and sister. If his cats had NOT been in their carriers we would have never found them, of that I am sure. As it was, the people who stopped, put blankets over them and my brother and the tow truck guy took them to town in his vehicle, safe and sound, although incredibly terrified. Really, really lucky they were confined. My brother was in hospital for several days and would never have been able to find them or take care of them.
