Most cats don't have the word "joyride" in their vocabulary, but you can get them on board with a little TLC and preparation.

Step 1: Choose a carrier
Buy a well-ventilated, hard-plastic pet carrier that is large enough for your cat to stand up and turn around in.

Step 2: Line the carrier
Line the carrier with absorbent bedding that will make your cat more comfortable as well as soak up any accidents.

Step 3: Practice
Familiarize your cat with the carrier by practicing at home and with short trips in the car.

Tip
Place a favorite toy or blanket inside the carrier to help your cat feel more comfortable.

Step 4: Feed the cat
Feed your cat three to four hours before your trip and do not feed them while on the road.

Step 5: Secure the carrier
Secure the carrier with the vehicle's seatbelt.

Step 6: Don’t remove
Leave the cat in the carrier for the duration of the ride, postponing feeding or litter box use until you have reached your destination.

Step 7: Never leave alone
Never leave your cat alone in the car. Vehicles quickly absorb heat or cold, and extreme temperatures can be lethal.

Step 8: Identify the cat
Tag your cat with an identification microchip, available from your vet. Place a collar and your contact information around the cat’s neck when traveling.
