Cats and Travel

Every few months I drive my cat to my parents house as I go outa town. Its a 30 min drive.

This past week I drove Chevy there and he did his normal puking and crapping :cry: But this time he also panted and had large amounts of saliva hanging from his mouth. Same thing happened when I brought him home. I know he does not like to travel, but is that distance too short to ask a Vet to give me something to relax him??

It just breaks my heart that he yowls and gets sick.

 

If he gets that sick I would definately ask the vet for something....30 minutes is long enogh I'm sure.

 

You could also try Rescue Remedy. It's all natural and works very well. Here is a link below with more info.

I would try to find something to help out. It sounds very stressful on the cat.

By the way, it's common for cats to pant while on a car ride. (When I was a kid, my cats would do it on the way to the vet.) When cats get some distance from their home, they tend to pant. If I remember right, there are some extra smelling sensors on a cat's tongue. When they're panting, they're trying to gain as much information as they can.

I hope you can find something to help!

 

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll use them. I will also order some rescue remedy.

 

It might be cheaper online, but I found rescue remedy at a local health food store. Drug stores might have it too.
