Many cats hate being inside a moving vehicle, especially if they have not used to it. These poor cats can get scared and totally anxious even during a short road trip, it can be stressful for them. Having a meowing and frightened cat in the car, even when he is inside a crate, can also get on the nerves of the other passengers.

Here are some tips to reduce your cat’s fear and anxiety during road trips.

Crate training is very important for cats. Whether they like it or not, they need to be brought to the vet or the groomers at certain times of the year.

Make sure that the time the cat spends inside the crate is a positive experience by placing some of his favorite toys inside, treats, and his blanket. Having something familiar while traveling can make him feel more secure and comfortable.
