Has anyone ever trained a cat to travel (not with a leech or a cage) with its owner, like dogs do?

Answer 1

We have a Bombay whose name is Mambo King for short. I trained him to climb on my bicycle, get in the lined basket, and we ride away into the sunset. I do leash him in after he gets in the basket, in the event that he spooks and junps down. I don't want to lose him, or he could get hurt. The kids get a big kick out of him riding along with me.

Answer 2

Many years ago when we didn't have a car we had to walk about 3 miles to the nearest fish and chip shop and one evening we were waiting for our order and I heard these people talking outside doing a lot of oooing and aaahing! I turned around to see what all the fuss was and was amazed to see our cat Guy sitting just outside the door waiting for us, it became a regular thing after that and the chip shop owner would sometimes give us an extra piece of fish just for the cat!! I hasten to add that we walked across fields mostly and only 2 very minor back roads he was very street wise. A few years later we moved about 50 miles away (and by this time we did have a car) the same cat travelled in the back behind the dog grid with his best mates a German Shepherd and a Bassett Hound!

My 3 cats quite happily travel in the car, we've moved around quite a bit in the last few years, so it was a case of getting used to it.
I got so fed up with the constant yowling when they were in their cages that we decided to try without cages, they appear to enjoy it. Not a word out of them now.
My big ginger tom regularly goes for runs in the car down to the local village shop, people have got quite used to seeing him in
the car now!
The last journey they did over was 500 miles and they were very happy and relaxed for the whole 9 hours.
Mind you, we did get some rather odd looks as we went whizzing past people on the motorway with 3 cats staring thru the window!

In 1968 we collected our kitten and he would only settle in the car with his front legs on my shoulder and his back half on the seat. He adopted this position every time we drove anywhere. I hasten to say that I was not the driver!
One major rule, though: When you reach your destination, carry your cat around to calmly introduce him to the home you are staying at. Then put the food and water bowls in a quiet corner and sit with him, still calmly talking to him while he eats. However, if he seems nervous, gently dab some tasty butter on his paws - by the time he has cleaned himself, he will be quite settled. Our darling boy also used to go for walks with me, taking the shortest route home when he'd had long enough! There he'd be, waiting on the doorstep to be let indoors.

My sister's cat, Pedro is a great ride along companion. She started working with him at age 6 months. Now she just jingles the car keys and he heads out to the car. sits on seat next to her or lays in back window. Takes a lot longer then training a dog

Answer 6

many years in the past after we did no longer have a motor vehicle we had to stroll about 3 miles to the nearest fish and chip keep and one nighttime we were waiting for our order and that i heard those human beings speaking outdoors doing extremely some oooing and aaahing! I circled to work out what each and each of the fuss changed into and changed into surprised to work out our cat guy sitting only outdoors the door waiting for us, it grew to change right into a common element after that and the chip keep proprietor would from time to time supply us an additional piece of fish only for the cat!! I hasten to operate that we walked throughout the time of fields usually and easily 2 very minor again roads he changed into very highway smart. many years later we moved about 50 miles away (and through this time we did have a motor vehicle) an identical cat travelled contained in the again behind the dogs grid at the same time with his suitable acquaintances a German Shepherd and a Bassett Hound!

Answer 7

that's one that we as a family just experinced while going to California our cat went with us on a long trip and we did have a leash they are good travelers they don't want to stop at every rest stop but they do need to get out go stretch their legs like people do they don't need a cage I feel only when going to the Vet. that's a maybe only when they are to sick to tiolate a leash. other wise make sure its one with a fishing handle kind and you have control of them and the handle has button to keep them in place.

Answer 8

When my husband walks our dog in the neighborhodd our cats go with him. They will only go as far as they feel safe and then turn around for home even if he contnues on.

Our cats also go potty outside like a dog. They hold it all day until we get home. We have a litter box but the cats don't use it.

Answer 9

Yup! My Black Cat Bagheera sits and looks out of the windows! Never put him in a cage or basket ever.
When we drive down the lane towards the house he climbs on my lap and puts his front paws on the steering wheel!
Yes I know its probably a nick, but it is a private road!
