Ok, I'm going to have to either leave tons of food out (and hope that the wild critters don't get it) OR take Ellie with me to my folks for Easter weekend. She is an outdoor cat, who is liking spending some time inside.

Today we sat in the car just to check to see if she was afraid or not. She kind of liked it. I didn't turn the car on. Maybe tomorrow or later today, we'll go for a little ride.

I was thinking of taking her car bed and putting it on my parent deck (they live in the country) OR she would stay in the garage. I'll take a litter box, food and water dishes.

Any advice on traveling with an outdoor cat? I think that I'll take her to my office later this week to see how she does. I don't have a carrier. She is an old cat (about 13) but does like to scratch with her claws. I'm thinking that she might be ok in the car.

Tnt told me horror stories about travelling with her cat and I'm hoping to NOT have her experiences.

how far is the ride schoolmarm? and it would be a good idea to get her claws trimmed before you go.

get a cat carrier! (I bought a soft sided one recently and love it). I love my kitties but having them loose in the car whil you're trying to drive can be scary.

OK, who wants to tell Marm what it can be like to put your cat into the carrier?

I take a bath towel and wrap up the kitty snuggly and keep the towel wrapped around her until she is inside the carrier. She does not like the carrier but I would never try to take her in the car without one.

Only time my kitty willingly went inside the carrier was at the vets and it was time to go home.

Ok, it's 4 hours...and Mom has convinced me to get a pet feeder that is on a timer. Hope I can find one.

Still interested in more "cats in the car" stories!

LOL Marm. I have a feeder called Cat Mate C20 (Automatic Pet Feeder) and it has 2 timed feeders. Saw one at Petsmart that had 5 days. You put in a battery and turn it on and then set the timers.

I am not sure if my cat didn't get both days open herself tho by playing with it so you might want to leave plenty of extra food in the garage or some place else for your kitty. I can't remember how to spell her name. Is it Elle or Ellie?

Or, you could board her at a kitty hotel?

ETA: Mine came with ice packs and I froze her canned food and put it in the trays just before I left. Of course, you wouldn't need the ice packs for dry food.

Marm, I echo the smart people above me who said to get a cat carrier, if you take kitty in the car.

Even if it is a cardboard box with holes and held together with duct tape.

As Sea said, kitty can get loose. That would be bad.

I will share what happened to me once, when I got the bright idea to take kitty out while I ran through the fast food drive-thru.

Kitty decided it would be fun to wedge herself BEHIND MY BRAKE PEDAL. I went to apply the brakes and couldn't. Fortunately, I was driving a manual transmission car and could downshift and then pull up on my emergency brake handle to stop.

(Kitty went in the hatch area for the .8 mile trip home.) :-)

rosie, I put my carrier on end. and drop kitties in. althouh said dropping can be more difficult with the 14 lb casper compared to the kittens - lol.

and yeah it's amazing how willingly they go back in at the vet's office.

Ophelia has a soft sided carrier with a zip open side. We leave it on the floor all the time with the side open. She sleeps in it a lot of the time. It has made trips to the vet much more pleasant.
