Master of the Sherpa

 Strombeek has mastered the sherpa.

How Strombeek Helps Us Pack

First she settles into a box all filled with packing paper and makes herself comfortable. 

Sherpa Conditioning #4

After a few days of tossing Feline Greenies into the sherpas, they've become even more comfortable with them. 

Sherpa Conditioning #3

Phase three of conditioning involves tossing Feline Greenies into the Sherpas.

Sherpa Conditioning #2

Since Louie was already somewhat traumatized by the guys on ladders painting the house, I decided to keep the conditioning low key today. Today they would have the opportunity to inspect the sherpas on their own terms.

Sherpa Conditioning #1

Strombeek doesn't like the sound of "conditioning." But Arthur read an article. It said that if you want to take your cats on an airplane it's a good idea to get them used to the Sherpas (their carriers). Otherwise, they just assume they must be going to the vet. And cats don't really like to go to the vet.
