Secure the carrier with a seat belt through the handle area in a car rather than leaving it loose on a seat. Never lift it by the door. Check all three locking points before every journey, as a lid that is not clipped down is the usual way a cat gets out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLift out the urine grid and wash the base with warm water and mild detergent.
