Preparation Work for Traveling with Cats
Russian Blue Cat
Since most public transportation prohibits carrying pets, and cats are not very accustomed to riding in cars, ships, planes, etc., it is best to avoid taking cats on trips as much as possible. If the travel time is relatively short, you can leave the cat at home, but you should leave sufficient food and clean drinking water in food and water bowls, and clean litter such as sand or ash in the litter box.
If the outing is longer and you need to take the cat along, it is best to choose self-driving, and you must make some preparations in advance.
First, prepare a travel carrier. The carrier should be sturdy, so the cat cannot scratch or bite it, and should have enough space and ventilation holes. If the transportation time is longer, you should also prepare food bowls, water bowls, and a litter box for the cat, along with enough food and water. For excitable and nervous cats, a proper dose of sedatives can be injected.
Before a long trip, you can take the cat on several short trips to let it adapt to travel life, and be sure to have a veterinarian perform a physical examination and administer necessary vaccinations.
During the trip, check frequently. If you find the cat panting heavily from heat, let the cat cool down to prevent suffocation. (Source:PetsZone)
