Bambi is a seven-year-old mixed-breed cat who joined our family from a shelter last month. I had no idea how much he hated the car until we drove him to the clinic in Samui for his first check-up. He yowled the whole way, and I think the clinic staff heard him before they saw us.

うちの子にもこの方法を試してみようと思います。移動の時に怖がる子には特に役立ちそうですね。
