To establish pleasant associations, leave it open at home with a comfortable blanket or toy inside. To assist your cat get used to the motion and noises of travel, take brief practice outings, like around the block.
• Stay away from busy times : When the subway is less busy, such as in the middle of the day or late at night, you should travel. In addition to helping you find space, this will lessen your cat’s anxiousness.
• Keep Your Cat Calm:  To soothe your cat, place a familiar blanket or homey-smelling object inside the carrier. A pheromone diffuser (such as Feliway) or soothing spray could be useful for lowering anxiety.  Throughout the voyage, soothe your cat by speaking softly to them.
• Pack the necessities: In case your cat becomes thirsty, keep a bottle of water and a tiny portable water bowl with you. If your cat needs to be distracted or rewarded, bring a small toy or a few biscuits. A small litter mat or poop bags should be brought in case of emergency.
