Cats are a finicky bunch. For many, the mere sight of a carrier or leash can inspire fits of panic. Cars and any other motorized vehicles are also decidedly evil, causing cats to behave as if you were sending them into the fiery pits of hell. Luckily, there are steps you can take to make caring for your cat while traveling a breeze. Well, a breeze might be a bit of a stretch. But you can at least minimize your feline's fear and make your own journey a bit less troublesome.
For a successful trip with your cat, let this be your motto: preparation, preparation, preparation. You'll need a carrier or cage for the journey, and some cats might do well with a mildly sedating medication from your veterinarian. Plan to visit your vet a few weeks before your trip to do a check-up and to stock up on whatever supplies and medication you might need.
