Next week I'm taking a trip of at least 600 miles with my cat. He's about six months old now. I've been taking him for short rides around town and he's pretty cool with this. He even seems to like it when I park under trees: he enjoys watching birds and squirrels!!
Could someone give me tips on travelling with a cat? I'll have to spend a night on the road (hopefully, I can find a cat-friendly motel, and one at my destination).
I've tried to get Jeremiah out of the car, but he gets awfully tense and nervous, even in a deserted parking space. I'll snap a retractable leash to his harness and just hold him in my arms, but he tends to freak pretty badly. I'd like to be able to let him out of the car as I take breaks from driving, but will not try it until he gets much calmer with it.
Any advice or tips would be much appreciated.
