Anyone have a road-loving housecat?
I've contemplated getting a cat but know they aren't fond of traveling. And how do you know if the cat you get is one that can cope with the traveling? I don't move that often but don't like the idea...

We took our young cats everywhere in the car and motorhome. They youled for a month and then were over it. Then they would just sleep while in any vehicle.
Our cats were family members and only went outside on a leash. When they would get tangled with the leash, etc it wasn't perfect but they were family members.
We never used cages, except on a airline, period. We left a red leash on in the MH as it was easier to identify where they were when we stopped and no slide moved until we knew where they were.
So without problems we had them in vehicles, boats and yes airplanes. Several trips under the seat from CA to FL. Sometimes kids would see them in the Atlanta airport and it was good for all of us, psst... don't tell Delta.
For us it was just a matter of training.
Our last cat would see the MH getting ready for a trip and she would run to the door to be inside! We'd just close the MH door and bring her in for the night before we left the next morning. Sadly she is no longer with us and for many reasons I get sad writing this post.
