Indoor Cat Initiative

Traveling by Car

Get the cat used to going for rides in the carrier. Put her into the carrier with a special treat and drive around the block a few times a few times a week. This will help her to get accustomed to riding in the car. When the cat is riding in your car, turn the stereo down to a low volume, roll up the windows and turn on the air vents to keep it cool inside. Too much noise from the stereo or the road will frighten the cat. Never put your cat into a hot car or leave her there unattended for any length of time!

If you will be driving a long distance you will need to bring along food, water, and a litter box for the cat. A clean litter box can travel easily on the floor of your car or in the back of your SUV or minivan. Disposable cardboard litter boxes are also available and are convenient for travel.
