I took my cat to a cat only vet. The Doctor and nurses have a scent on their hands that calm the cat. Then they gave us a blanket to put over the carrier with that same soothing scent. It was very mild, we could not smell it. It made a big difference for the ride home!
There are items in the pet stores for this soothing effect.
