Where should a carrier be placed after a cat has been put inside?

On the table
In a corner
On the floor
In the vehicle

The correct answer is: On the floor

Placing the carrier on the floor after a cat has been put inside is important for several reasons. Firstly, it provides a stable and secure environment for the cat. Cats can feel vulnerable when they are confined to a carrier, and placing the carrier on the ground helps them feel more grounded and less exposed to potential threats. Additionally, it allows for easier access in case the animal needs to be monitored or handled again. Furthermore, placing the carrier on the floor minimizes the risk of it tipping over, which could cause injury to the cat. This position also promotes better ventilation compared to an elevated surface, especially in an environment that may not be immediately familiar to the animal. In contrast, options like placing the carrier on a table or in a corner could lead to instability or make it more difficult for the animal to feel secure. Putting the carrier in the vehicle is also not appropriate at this stage, as it is generally recommended to keep the cat in a controlled environment until the journey is ready to begin, ensuring the animal’s comfort and safety.
