A large percentage of cats despise traveling. They get anxious and scared of being in a traveling car. Riding a car can stress them out even if it’s only a short trip. The following are a few ways to alleviate your cat’s anxiety and fear during such situations:
- It is best to train them to be able to stay in their crate comfortably, and also to see their crate as a safe environment and make them feel at home. To achieve this goal, you can place the crate in the room where they usually relax and play, and place their favorite toy(s) inside the crate to help him feel at ease when staying in it.
- Give ample time to play with them before starting your journey to help them calm down. Another way to keep them calm and comfortable is to stay within their line of sight while they are inside their crate.
