If you have ever traveled in a car with a cat, you may have witnessed the animal meowing plaintively throughout the entire journey.
Let us explain why this happens.
The thing is that a trip for a pet is most often not an exciting pastime, but a serious stress caused by a sudden change of environment.
By meowing, cats express their fear of the unknown.
What should the owner do in such a situation? The following tips will help.
1. If you plan to take long trips with your “furball”, you should accustom your pet to the car as early as possible, literally from the first months of life.
2. A few days before the trip, take out the carrier and place it in a visible place. It wouldn’t hurt to put your pet’s favorite toy or soft pillow in it.
This way you will make the carrier a safe place for your cat, which means the journey will be easier for him.
3. It is worth saying a few words about the carrier itself - the design should be large and spacious. It is forbidden to put it on the floor or in the trunk - hold the carrier in your hands or put it on the seat, securing it with seat belts.
