Traveling Kitty
Hi,
Does anyone have any experience commuting with cats? Due to work changes this fall I am looking at staying in the city four nights a week and returning home for the weekend (with Suki in tow). I am concerned about cat's adaptability and how living in two homes might affect her. Any thoughts, feedback, experiences, etc are welcomed. Thank you in advance. Suzanne |

I think it depends on the cat's personality. If you have an outgoing,
curious cat, she should be fine with the change of homes. If she's shy and quiet, she might not like it. It might also depend on how much traveling and socialization she had as a kitten. You can only try it once or twice and see how she does. If she's clearly traumatized and hides under the bed, you know to keep her in one location. |

I was watching a show on the Home and Garden channel where this family with
a toddler spent part of the week at their vacation home and they took their cat along all the time. The cat rode in a travel case and the whole thing seemed to work out fine. -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. |

Why is it that when it comes to our own sweet-peas the obvious answers fly right out the window (like doing a few test runs). Suki and will take a couple of trips over the next month and see how it goes. Thanks again, Suzanne |
