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 of drugging it. Also not crazy about not letting it explore outside. Any problems with RV parks?

We take our two everywhere without any issues....

I know when we moved from CA to VA many years back using a UHAUL truck followed by one of our road vehicles one of our cats didn't make the first 50 mile pull out at a rest area.It darted out when we opened the truck door and we looked and looked for it for the next three to four hours and finally had to go off and leave it... Sad day for the kids...A dog will listen to you somewhat but a cat has a mind of its own I reckon... All our cat knew was he didn't like riding in the truck I guess. Probably was watching us the whole time we looking for him...Our fault for not keeping him in his carry case I guess...Roy Ken

We full time with 3 cats (used to be 4) and we have had 2-4 cats at all times over the last 17 years. 1 loves to go outside which is OK, but only on a lease, the other 2 have never left the coach unless in a carrier. Even when brought home for the first time they explore, fight with each other and then curl up and go bad to sleep. Nice life!

We full-time with 2 cats. We got them as kittens and they overwhelmed an older cat, so we took her to our DD's to live out her retirement. They don't like the walk from the 5er to the Truck, but once in their soft-sided cage, they usually settle in for the day's trip. Sleeping, cleaning each other or meowing for a scratch. Ours don't like to eat or drink (or use the litter box) on the road, so we don't like to drive much longer than 4-6 hrs. Once we stop and set back up for the night or for a few months, they sniff around the RV and then go jump on their cat tree to look out the window and see what bugs, birds or people are doing outside.They make great traveling companions.
