Some cats enjoy traveling, but most do not. Whether you're moving from one residence to another or wish to take a long trip with your cat, you will need a sturdy cat carrier. If you have to fly to your destination with your cat, you must either provide your own cat carrier or rent one from the airline.

You don't want your cat loose in the car. She will be a driving hazard. When you stop and open the door, she may bolt and be difficult or impossible to retrieve. It is also beneficial if your pet wears a cat collar in case the two of you are separated.

Whenever your cat is in the car during warm or hot weather, keep the air conditioning on. Never park in the sun when your cat is in the car. Just five minutes of direct sunlight on a warm day can raise the temperature inside the car to well over 100 degrees. Your cat could suffer permanent or fatal injury.

Park only in parking structures or in shaded areas with at least two inches rolled down for cross-ventilation. Avoid leaving your cat unattended in a vehicle whenever possible.
