We tried the cage, on our laps, on her pillow etc.etc. Nothing we tried worked.
So just be aware, not all cats travel good. I have always had dogs that loved to travel but dogs do not last forever. Went a few years with no pets then this cat picks me as her owner. Oh well.

We had one (lost her to age related illness) this summer who hated crates to the point of blooding her claws when she traveled to the vet in a standard crate. In fact, she is why we got the soft sided ones. We had one soft side carrier we used with her. But put in with her sibling and her mom in one of the soft sided crates to travel, did just fine. We still have the small soft sided carrier for individual trips to the vet. When not being used for that, it holds their toys.
Unfortunately cats don’t last forever either. We actually lost that one and her sibling to kidney disease. The mom is still going strong. We got two kittens about 2 months ago. They travel great. Started with six, lost two, got two. Age range, one is 17, two will be 7 this spring, one is almost 5, and the two kittens are 6 months now.
