Traveling with a Sensitive Cat
Our honest (and a little messy) story about Rabbitovitz, short trips, and learning how to make outings less stressful for sensitive kitties.
Oh, Rabbitovitz!
Rabbitovitz
The short trip
that wasn’t
so short
We’ve been acclimatizing Munchie Rabbitovitz to going out, but even a quick 5 minute trip was a bit too much for him.
Poor little guy got nauseous in his carrier.
The reality of training a travel-sick kitty can be a real challenge.
The recovery
mission
Because he got nauseous, he vomited in his carrier, and that meant an immediate trip back home for a wash, which he wasn’t exactly thrilled about.
Treats, snacks
& a reset
It was a rough afternoon, but Munchie was a total trooper.
Some delicious treats helped make up for it, and he was soon back to being his grumpy-but-cute self.
and he was
happy.
Looking ahead
We’re still figuring out what works best for Rabbitovitz.
Next time, we’ll try a more stable setup and keep taking it slow – one small step at a time.
Building his confidence closer to home is the goal.
If your kitty gets stressed out during trips, a great way to build up their confidence closer to home is through basic training. Check out our experience lyle’s talking buttons to see how it can help your cat communicate!
