Hi.
I have to say that I couldn't agree more.
The carrier/cage/other things used should be a safe spot, not a behavior
correctional institute. I use the upside down laundry basket here, and
it works great. I'm just afraid of the coming attraction of
laundry-basket-roll-over-competition. Some day I know that Simba will
figure it out.
