Default Cat Transport

I brought my big fat 5 year old cat, Yoda, down here by car. She was an indoor/outdoor cat up north and never rode in a car except to go the the vet. I figured that the trip would be horrible as my lab (who only barely tolerates her) had to share the back seat with her for the 20 plus hour trip.

I bought a medium dog harness (she weighs 25 lbs), a leash and a carrier. She slipped the harness as soon as I put it on her and curled up inside the dogs belly and never made a peep all the way down. I brought food, water and a small pan of litter, but she never took advantage of any of the supplies until we got settled down here. I also bought those herbal tranquilizers, but never needed them. Ask your vet about those.

Yoda tends to be pretty mellow, so I think it may depend upon your cats temperament. Good luck!
