Most cats are more comfortable being homebodies than world travelers. If you find it necessary to take your cat on a trip, the following guidelines will point you in the right direction.

Step 1: Purchase a cat carrier
Use a cat carrier, and get your cat used to spending time in it by taking it on short road trips several weeks before your trip.

Tip
Be sure to use a U.S. Department of Agriculture-approved cat carrier for air travel. Consult your airline about size requirements.

Step 2: Equip the carrier
Equip the carrier with a bed and with a litter box and cat litter.

Step 3: Feed the cat before the trip
Feed the cat several hours before leaving, but make sure there is plenty of food and water available in the carrier. Bring the cat's usual food on the trip.

Tip
Talk to your veterinarian about medication to prevent your cat from experiencing motion sickness during the trip.

Step 4: Use an identification tag
Place identification on the carrier, including your destination and telephone number.
