Last month I had a cat move in. I hadn't intended on a cat at this point in life, but the Cat Gods poo-poohed that idea and sent him to my door (literally).
He is very social, so cannot stay home alone like my prior cat. He has been learning camping cat rules. Harness is to be worn at all times - ID tag attached with our license plate number for both the SUV and the camper. Microchipped. Always leashed before a door is opened. I found a great lightwieght 15 ft cat tether so I can attach him to the camper without restricting his movements inside. Always in a cat carrier while driving. We got one that lets him see everything going on, but he is secure.
We also have a portable cat crate big enough for him, his box, bowls and pillow. This will rarely be used, but it's there is we need it.
He has been practicing sitting outside on the front porch with his tether. Soon we will do a short trip with him.
When a dog spooks they usually look to their owner for protection. When a cat spooks, they hide from everyone including their owner. So he will NEVER go outside without being tethered, on a leash or in a carrier/crate.
