Traveling With Your Cat

By Robert Baker


At some point in your cat ownership you are going to be forced to travel in your vehicle with your feline friend. I know it is a dreadful thought and many pet owners fear this occasion. There are steps to take and tips for a safer more friendly riding experience with your cat. This way everyone is happy who is involved.

The majority of cats do not relish a ride in the car. They are very disoriented by the movement and can even get sick to their stomachs. Cats do not like change so riding in a car is not the highlight of their lives.

A cat kennel or carrier will be the best way to ensure safe travels for all. In fact you can even buckle you kennel in! For long trips planning ahead is key. Taking short jaunts around town will give you an idea of how well kitty travels. If you are planning a long trip be sure to check into and make reservations for pet friendly hotels.

A cat carrier or kennel is the best bet for keeping everyone safe and secure. Since you cant place a seat belt on your cat put them in a safe carrier instead. For longer trips cross country you will need to plan ahead a few weeks before your trip take your cat on frequent car rides to get them used to the feeling of constant movement. Also look into pet friendly hotels along the way.

The metal crates that are used for dogs are an even better way to travel. They are large enough to fit all the essentials like food, water and a litterbox. Placing a favorite piece of cat furniture is also a comfort for kitty.

Cats can get very stressed and an open door is a clear invitation. Nothing can ruin a trip quicker than a cat that bolts and gets lost. Secure kitty in her crate or kennel before opening any doors.
