Traveling with an Animal
Help..... I need to travel with my cat. I have tryed short trips but she cries the whole time. (she even dumped in her carry case .......yuck. ) Does anyone have any ideas? Does dramamine work on animals?
best asking a vet so as not to harm her.

precious is the same way when traveling, she screamed the whole way
now I leave her home and my daughter goes by and takes care of her !
but if you have to transport them I'd say a vet should have a pet sedative

Liv what is the furthest you have driven with her? Afriend told me they do eventually stop crying.. I really hate to sedate her if I don't have to.

Many years ago I traveled cross country, from FL to AZ with a cat, a small siamese....five days in a car. The first three days were horrible...pretty constant crying, scratching to get out of the carrier, pooping and peeing in her carrier, refusing to eat or drink....used a leash to keep her from running off when I let her out....lots of scratching and biting....the last two days I think she was just exhausted from the fighting and starving. If I had to do again, would go for the sedative.

She was a siamese, who do tend to be more high strung...but have never had a good experience traveling with a cat...even short distances like to the vet or across town... they don't like being cooped up...love em, but not on the road.

I have had many cats and none of them handled the auto or the cage. If you start your kitten out as a baby kitten and take them some where every day, you could train them, If you have to take your cat, I would go for the sedative.
I personally feel is scares them so bad, that I would leave your cat home and get someone to feed her.

When I go down to my house in RI for an extended vacation I take my two cats. It is only an hour drive but the first few times I did it with them they cried the entire time. Then I got them a couple of new soft sided carriers, each has their own. I sprinkled some cat nip on the interior and bring out the carriers a day or two before the trip. I still have a hard time catching them and getting them into the carrier, but the crying has stopped and they seem to enjoy there time at the house with me. I go through the same trouble trying to catch them to bring them home! LOL

I like the way that sounds T2 she is going to need to travel with me to NC. I left her home last for 3 weeks. She had a minimum of 6 visitors a week. But I can't ask them to do that in the dead of winter. Thanks everyone.... The sedative will be the back up.
