hello just wanting some ideas and tips for my desexed male cat with travelling?
if we go on a holiday/ moving what things do i need to bring? what do i do with the litter box on long drives? how long between stops? and what kind of things do i need to be thinking about to prepare him for a long drive in a car?
how do i know if he is stressed by driving or being in the carrier ? what can i do to help with stress levels?
my cat will miaow a little in car when going to vet. he loves food and have no problems with the carrier, i leave it out all the time and have found him sleeping in it from time to time. i havent been in the car for long periods of time with him other than when we brought him home and that was 45 mins drive over 2 years ago. the vet is less than 10 minutes away. and has yearly check ups. other than that we dont take him out in the car . only other time he in his carrier is when we have inspections every 3 months we put him in his carrier for a few hours ( after he has eated and used litter box)and sit with him in the garage with him( as he has to be restraineed as stated in our lease argreement and the window of when they can show up is 2 hours, their doing not mine, i also dont trust real estates will make sure he doesnt get out and leave doors open as he is indoor only, they dont care if he gets lost but i do. ) we are allowed to have him where he rent. he miaows a little when in carrier and will bite at the carrier and try and get out when we have inspections but we try and distract him with food or a toy and he fine for awhile.
