You can leave the backpack in one of your cat's favorite spots in the house and let your cat explore it. After allowing your cat to have enough time to feel safe with the backpack, put your cat inside the backpack, and give your cat his/her favorite treat (positive reinforcement). You can also let him/her play with their favorite toy in the backpack. The next step is to practice carrying your cat around the house in the backpack, and then take your cat outside for a walk/a car ride using the same backpack. Don't forget to continue giving your cat his/her favorite while being outside. To help your cat associate your petting with good feelings, you can pet your cat while feeding him/her at home. When you're on an airplane with your cat, petting him/her will help calm your cat.
