    You can either run the seat belt through the handle or buy one of the new ones with a hook to put a seat belt through.

    OH I’m sorry to hear – hope everyone is ok now. This is very important lesson of why its best to have cats IN a carrier instead of loose in the car. If she was loose, she might have been seriously hurt or dead now!

    Anyway try running the back seat belt thru the cat carrier handle and then hooking it on the seat. That should work. My carrier has a special place to run the seat belt thru on the top of it.

    you’ll have to check a pet supply store. if nothing else you can tuck the carrier in the seatbelt. there are belts and harness and even little boxes that fit inside the seat belt you can put her in.
