We have started to do the big lap with our unsociable 3 legged 12 year old cat. She has never travelled before as we are usually only away from home a couple of weeks at a time and friend/family usually take her in as a boarder. We have been away now for 25 days and to this time she has set foot outside the van 3 time and then ran straight back in. She seems to travel in the car ok. We purchassed a pet enclosure before we left but even though it is 3 ft high (and opened topped) she jumps straight out of it. If anyone else out there travels with their beloved Moggy can you please give us some hints on how to get her out and what type of enclosure you use.
Hi Giaaa1. Why not try a harness - plenty of people use these for their cats - and take her outside for nature calls or short walks. She may then get used to being outside and be happy to stay in the enclosure. Also, maybe you could put netting over the top of the enclosure.
When I was at Greens Lake last year there was a large bus and the couple had two cats. They also had a large upright cage that they connected to one of the windows when camped. The whole time they were there one was always outside in the cage and the other never ventured outside at all preferring to stay inside. With cats it seems they will do what suits them best. As long as you have a dirt box inside for them all should be good.
