How to drive long distance with a cat

Maybe you are moving, or going on a vacation. Follow these steps to keep your furry feline safe.

Steps

1. 1
   Prepare the cat. Before you go, give them a flower essence. Never use sedatives. They are bad for cats, and can make them very sick. If your cat gets car sick, then give them car sicknesses pills. Otherwise, you'll do better without the medicines.
2. 2
   Set up their spot in the car. Using pillows and other purses or totes as props, make 2 walls out of them, and leave a canyon like space for your cat to lay or sit in. Drape a towel over it all. Line with another towel. Make a small covered, dark area for the cat to hide such a fort or a cage with a towel draped over it. Keep cat toys there.
3. 3
   Bring along a first aid kit for the cat in emergencies. Keep extra towels in case of any accidents. Keep a jug of water, and only feed the cat a little bit.
4. 4
   Don't mess around. Honking the wheel for no reason, shining the blue lights randomly, blasting the music, turning on and of the radio or stereo, swerving or spinning the car, or playing screamo music is just as enjoyable to you as it is agitating to the cat. And don't even think speeding and getting a ticket. The bottom line is none of it is funny. Period.
5. 5
   Give your cat a break. Take kitty for a walk on a harness or leash to let it stretch every so often. Dont use a collar, a cat can slide right out of it.
