Can anyone tell me how they made out RVing with a cat? Our neighbors
abandoned their yr old cat when they moved and we adopted her. We have 2
trips planned for next month and no one to leave her with. Do cats
travel well? Do you put them in a "cat-carry" while on the road? Loose
in the RV? In the Tow-Vehicle (i.e. TV)? Do you use a leash and collar? A
harness? I fear we may open a door and she'll dart out and get lost or
run over, or she'll rip up the screens if left loose or alone in the RV.
I would love to keep her but not if travel will be torture for her.
Suggestions PLEASE!
Cats are very adaptable. I have known them to live on sailboats, RV's and
other traveling environments perfectly well. If you love it, feed it, and
pay attention to it, it will get along wherever you get along.....
She's getting a lot of love and attention.  |

Some friends of mine took their two cats full timing on their boat
(intercoastal waterway). The cats loved it. The RVers I've seen put their
cats in carriers tied down for traffic when on the road and on a leash if
they have to leave the RV with the owners. The cat's temperament is the
biggie. I suggest you try taking her with you on a trip and see how it
works.

Hi Pam, we're going to take her with us for a weekend to see how she does
before the long trip for Thanksgiving. She likes to sleep in the cat-carrier
so I don't think she'll mind traveling in it. We're going to get the harness
on her tonight and see how she takes to it. She's calmed down quite a bit
these past few days. Right now she mostly eats and sleeps. |

We had two cats at different times who traveled with us in the RV and loved
it. One needed a leash and one did not, and wouldn't go any where away from
the RV. They both loved it. When we got home after a trip, neither one
wanted to leave the Rv. |

Did you have a MH or a TT... what kind of RV was it? Our cat (she had to be
put to sleep due to an infection) hated it. We just adopted 2 kittens and
we'll see how they adapt. |

The younger, the better.....But you have to keep them away from the driver's
feet...... |

They'll be in a large crate complete with a shelf, 2 cat beds and a small
litter pan. No way can there be 2 loose kitties in our van. One could sneak
out a door when we open it and get lost. They will be safe and comfortable
in the crate while on the road. When we stop they'll go in the RV with us. |
