If you’ve ever tried to move your cat from the kitchen bench to the couch, you already know: cats don’t love change. So when you suggest going on a holiday together, most cats look at you like you’ve just suggested moving to Mars.
But sometimes travel with your furry mate is unavoidable — maybe you’re moving house, going on a long holiday, or just don’t trust anyone else to give them their perfectly precise half-can of tuna at 6 am sharp. The good news? With the right prep, you can make the journey easier on both of you (and maybe even fun).
Below, we’ll walk through everything you need to know about travelling with your cat — from the first terrifying meow to the moment they finally curl up in a sunny spot at your destination.
