Can You Take a Cat with You on a Hiking Trip? It's Not a Dog

You shouldn't think that only a dog has the right to have fun with a person, going on long walks and even hiking.

Cats can easily try on the role of a faithful companion.

However, it is worth taking care in advance to ensure that the trip with Murka is safe and enjoyable for each of its participants.

The first thing you need to take care of is the equipment. To keep the animal close, you will need a leash and a harness with wide straps.

Those animals that are categorically against such equipment can be placed in a backpack suitable for them.

Also, be sure to visit your veterinarian before you set off and make sure all vaccinations are up to date.

It wouldn't hurt to find out in advance how the cat will react to such an adventure. To find out, try walking with him in the yard or in a nearby park first.

There is no need to rush – when you are sure that your cat is ready, start on a quiet path located in a quiet area. It is better to set out early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid unnecessary activity.

Remember to take breaks to allow your cat to drink and have a snack.
