Our cat started traveling with us the day we got her. She was in the next county. We went out to look and brought her home. We had a cat kennel with an old towel and a couple of kitty toys. She talked to us all the way home, but apparently enjoyed the ride. As long as we had the S&B whenever her kennel appeared int he living room she would get in it, and then yell at us if we didn't immediately head out!

We're now in a DP and as soon as I start the Detroit she starts looking for her kennel. She has always been an indoor-only cat, so pet doors aren't necessary.

It's day one of Romeo's first trip. He's 9 years old and has always been an indoor kitty. We had him spend time in the trailer at home before this trip. So far he's doing great.
He did scare us today when we came back with groceries and could not find him. Finally found him under the sink. He seems calmer since he now has a hiding spot.

Good deal. Do you have a cardboard scratching box? Natasha always liked those in the AS. Relieved stress I believe.

Safe travels

Might need to get something like that. He's still doing well except he seems to be bored and somewhat restless. He moves around a lot and I don't think he's sleeping much. But he is eating and using his litter box.

Cat #1 we took camping and he got loose. I saw a white line on neighboring MH; his rope. The cat had climbed up the wheel and got on top of motor and wound around the spark plug wires. The neighbor was thankful we found him and removed the cowling to get the cat loose. Never again did he go.
Cat #2 at the mention of camping, she hid somewhere in the house. We had tried to get her in the TT at times but to no avail.
We miss our cats, but finding someone to take care of them is PITA or $$$$$.

We have people to come feed him but he just hates being left alone so we decided to try this. We laughed at him yesterday when we parked because he seemed confused that the view from the trailer was different.

We travel with a cat and she wouldn't have it any other way.
She is most comfortable when on route to be in a travel cage that Tracy has on her lap.
She knows when there is a trip coming and she hovers around the front door so she won't be left behind. She will actually crawl into the carry cage by herself if it is left open by the front door.
Maggie who is 17 has also figured out the slide on the screen door and will open it from the back of the dinette seat and hop out to join us if we are outside.
Also she likes to help keep the dog clean😊Click image for larger version

We have always traveled with 2 cats . When started over 10 years ago we didn't see others with a cat. Now, it's a common sight. They are easy to travel with as long as you treat them as they want to treated. No worry about the outings to release themselves. Wonderful companions.

My cat refuses to travel in a carrier, prefers the trailer itself. Upon arrival, jumps out and owns any campground we visit. Been doing this for over a year now, all across the country.

Our cats are inside always and never outside. We live on a farm where outside animals have short lives. Our Dee likes to ride on the console between the front seats. Brother stays in his carrier with door open.

Our cat rides on the console between the front seats, and sleeps there most of the time while driving. Once at the campsite she stays inside other than the odd time out on a leash. Just got home from 4 weeks on the road and she was quite happy to be with us in the trailer.

We have the same experience with our 2 cats. We limit our drive time to around 5 hours. They are excellent travel companions.

We travel with 2 cats. Always in their crate in the truck for traveling, and they love being in the AS.

Mine has learned how to open the screen door plastic cover - I put a small bungie cord on the upper screen protector and hook the end on the right end of the plastic slide.

We travel with our cats in the truck in a crate, ( 3’ x 4’ x 2’ ) or we put them in the shower with cat pan for a short time, or we put crate and them in the front of the trailer ( less bounce) one has learn to open sliding panel on screen door and then all get out. So I have installed a lock on it that she hasn’t figured out how to open. If in trailer we stop every hour or so to check on them.

How do you keep the cat cool in summer heat if you are out and about? AC is not an option during the day shopping, the grocery store, hiking, etc.

We have a 30' flying cloud with a rear bed. We are trying to figure out where to put the litter box. Did you put it in the compartment under the dining seat?

thanks

We have a FC25RBT and our cat Simon’s litter box is under the foot of the sidewalk side of the twin bed. I removed the cabinet door and the litter box fits perfectly.

At the rally, she was held or petted by many friends and she is not people-shy.

I take the kitten with me in the car frequently to do errands and I have her wear a harness part of each day to get used to it. The harness, although the smallest available size, is still a bit large for her

As soon as the harness fits well enough, I will start her walking on the leash. I have a long paved driveway and she can go with me daily to pick up the newspaper.

We just bought a 2020 25FB Flying Cloud - our cat Ace is a ginger tabby - indoor outdoor cat... he loves car travel and has always been well behaved in a car. The issue I am concerned about is once we arrive at the site. Does anyone that uses a harness on their cat have a recommendation on the best one to use? I have put a harness on him but he wriggles out of it. I would like have to him on the leash when we sit outside because I know he would love it - I'm scared to death we would lose him. Thoughts, suggestions, experiences? Thanks
