Me and Tom are going on vacation today after I get back from class and I have a small concern about it.
I've had him with me on probably a dozen trips and the first 4-5 I had him in a carrier because I was worried about him getting stuck under a seat or squished by luggage. He was fine, never meowed or hissed or anything and the first 2 times he even got into the carrier by himself (I just set it on my bed and he walked right in).
Now that he's gotten bigger and a little older(He's going to be 2 in 2 months) I have stopped using the carrier but now he sleeps in the litter box...of all the strange places. I have an SUV with seats that fold down and I always have them down when were on trips together and then I bungie cord my luggage to the back door(that way it doesn't shift if I have to break suddenly) and lay one of his favorate blankets down on the floor but he never lays down outside of the litter box.
Any idea's on why he does this? He will come out maybe 2 times a trip and look out the windows but he will never come up front with me or lay down anywhere but his litter box. I think it might be because he's so used to being boxed in in the car from being in the carrier when he was younger that he's treating his litterbox as his carrier now.
When I take him with me we are ususally on the road for about 3-4 hours before we get where were going and he is a really good rider, doesn't meow or anything, all he does is sleep in the litter box. And I guess its not that strange(I clean it out don't worry) but still I would like to know why.
