Taking my cat on a long road trip.?

Bring the Carrier in case. Also include a lot of toys and other things she is interested in. start off the drive when he is about to go to sleep, so that he won't cause too much trouble. obviously bring enough kibble, treats, and water. Just make sure it is entertained. Depends on the 20+ Hours thing though. I suggest you stay at a hotel at the half point, so that you will get a break, and he will be interested in his surroundings. I think if you can provide all of that then go ahead and bring her. If not then don't. He will be bored, cause trouble, and beg for attention. (At least my cat would. )

You should have your cat in a carrier of sorts and with one of those adapters that hooks to the seat belts. Because splattered kitty all over your windshield in the event of a crash is never fun to clean. The trip may be a bit too long, probably won't be as bad if you stop several times a long to the way to let the cat out to stretch and do its thing. I think your gonna have one angry cat on your hands tho after that trip. You could also take them to the vet before hand were they may be able to induce a tranquilizer to help relax the cat so it might not seem like such a stressful big event to your pet.

I took my 3 months old puppy for long road trip from San Diego to San Francisco. It was an 8 hours drive by myself. Most of the time, the dog will sleep in the car. Try to stop every 2-3 hours for the puppy to pee and your other dog to get some leg stretch. If they are too active, then ask the vet. I know they do make medicine to calm the dog or make they sleep during the trip. It should be safe, since my friends had to do that when they took the dog to travel oversea on the plane. It was required to do so for long flights. Also about the hotel, trying searching online for pet friendly hotel/motel. They usually only charges you a small amount of clean up fee if you bring in pets. Check out that link, it gives some advise on how to travel with pets. Hope this helps.

I once saw a cat just sitting on the parcel shelf in the back of the car, but he might like a carrier to sleep in better than on a seat and also, he is going to need somewhere to go to the toilet and may need a walk at sometime and will need quick and easy access to fresh drinking water and food but he is a young cat and you normally take him so it should be fine :)

Yes, you would need to secure him in a cat carrier for the length of the journey. Perhaps get a harness for him so you can stop and take him for a short walk every few hours. If you visit your local vet they should be able to provide him a sedative so he does not become stressed over the journey.

Good luck.

I think it depends on your cat- if it likes car rides or not. My cat HATED to be in cars.She would flip out big time and would refuse to move after she'd wedge herself under the car seat.

One time I had to take my cat with me on a 15 hour drive by myself and I couldn't have her clawing at me in fear the whole time- so I got pills from the vet that put her to sleep. She slept about 13 hours in a carrier which worked out very well. I had her litter box on the floor just in case she needed it.

It did upset her stomach though and she pooped diarrhea everywhere when I got to my destination. (poor thing) She was also pretty mad at me for doing that to her. :(

I would only suggest to do this if your cat cant handle the car. Some cats like it, and some would probably get used to being in the car after a couple hours. It also helps if you have a passenger that would be there to comfort your kitty. I also heard somewhere that if you prevent the kitty from looking out the window, it will stress them out less. Something about things moving fast out side freaks them out.

uhm, i'd say if you're driving straight through it might be a little long for your cat. but, i'd bring a cat carrier just incase. you can always let him out for a little roam every once in awhile. but he actually might feel more safe in one. also, what are you gonna do about him going to the bathroom? does he walk on a leash by any chance? i know some people train their cats to do so. i'm sure he'll be fine though. good luck!

Put the cat into a care situation if you love it / cat carrier / dog carrier what dose it mean to a cat or a dog do you think it will know the difference!??!!?!?? it all means jail, what did it do to deserve this?.

i think this should be fine but you will need a decent size crate . So long as you let him strech his leggs every few hours he should be fine

cats get very confussed and stressed when they are away from home. I personally would get someone to take care of him while your gone.
