Travel with Cats - Cat in Kennel

So you want to travel with cats? I know, I?ve talked about this before, but I found a series of videos on this subject. You can see one of these videos below. This woman has some good points to make about travel with cats, and she does it with humor. I love it when she describes what a loose cat it the car will do! First, they curl up under your brake pedal. Not good when you need to brake suddenly . . . Then they crawl up inside of the dash to see if they can figure out how to hot wire your car! This woman is really quite funny, but these things do happen when you travel with cats that are not corralled in some fashion. She has some great suggestions about using a harness on your cat. This never did work for my cats though. When I tried to harness my precious Abigail, she just layed down and stared up at me, as if to say, ?Now what in the world are you trying to do to me now?!!? Travel with cats can be challenging, at best. I don?t know why they can?t be as accommodating as most dogs are about travel. You just mention the word ?GO? and most dogs will beat you to the front door. If cats knew what the word ?GO? meant, they would hide under the bed! Now some folks have mastered the art of travel with cats. But they do it by starting out when they are kittens and getting them used to being in the car. I?ve seen some cats lounging in the back window enjoying the view ? you don?t see this often, but it warms my heart when I do see it. Having said that, I have to add that having a cat loose in the car, no matter how well behaved they are, is NOT SAFE for you or for them!!! Travel with cats is definately possible, and it is possible to do it safely! Use a harness. If that doesn?t work, put them in a kennel with lots of padding and a a little catnip and treat. Be sure to fasten the kennel down with a seatbelt or other means, so that kitty doesn?t take a tumble off the seat.

Travel with cats can be fun once they get used to it and learn to enjoy the view! Just think of all of the adventures they could have in their mind as they watch the real live drama going on around them. Travel with cats may not be as easy as travel with dogs, but it will be well worth it! Enjoy this video (there are more like it on eHow).
