Prepare your cat for travel by gradually acclimating them to their carrier and car rides with short trips.
Choose a well-ventilated and secure carrier that's large enough for your cat to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably.
Make sure your cat wears a collar with identification tags and consider microchipping for added security during travel.
Line the carrier with soft bedding and familiar items to help keep your cat calm and comfortable during the journey.
Offer your cat small amounts of water during travel and avoid feeding them large meals to prevent motion sickness.
Take frequent breaks to allow your cat to stretch their legs, use the litter box, and rehydrate during long trips.
Secure the carrier in the car with a seatbelt or other restraint to prevent it from shifting or falling during travel.
