Cat Travel in a Vehicle

If you need to travel with your cat it will be necessary to do a little bit of preparation work beforehand to ensure that the trip is comfortable for your pet. A cat can become quite excited the first time it travels in a vehicle and you need to do all that is possible to help it remain calm time as they will react differently when they become excited.

Pre-Trip Preparation

If it is a kitten or a younger cat then it might be necessary to put it inside a cage to stop it from running about the vehicle while it is traveling.

It might be wise to take a litter box with you as sometimes when cats get excited they need to go to the toilet and if there is nothing available for it to use it is likely to hold on and feel sick or go somewhere that you don't want it to go to the toilet.

Always carry water with you and stop regularly to see if it needs a drink, particularly in hot weather. It is preferable the first few times it goes for a trip in a vehicle to have eaten nothing beforehand as food can sometimes make cats feel sick.

During The Travel

If the cat seems calm then it is possible to let it out of the cage provided it sits quietly on a seat. Don't leave any windows open where it might be able to get out and particularly when you stop the vehicle make sure it doesn't jump out the door and go somewhere where it could be endangered.

If you do have windows down make sure there are no drafts that could be affecting your cat and don't let it sit up in the back window of vehicles in direct sunlight where it might get overheated and become ill. Generally if the cat has been in a vehicle as a kitten it won't mind travel all that much and it will generally only become frightened if it associates travel with some unpleasant event.

They can find comfort in having a favorite blanket or bed in the vehicle with them and also a comforting hand from the owner beside them. Consider their feelings and treat them as you would a young child and you shouldn't have too many problems.
