She loved to travel but she had certain "rules" about car travel. Rule #1 was that she must NOT be in a cat carrier or a box or any sort of transportation kennel. She wanted to be free to roam about the car for the first 5 or 6 minutes of whatever journey we were taking (including to the vet), then she'd climb into the back window, lie down in a sphinx pose, and happily watch the world go by. As soon as we stopped the car, she'd climb down and willingly get into the cat carrier, as though she knew that was the price of her freedom during the journey. Cleo passed away at 18 1/2 years old two summers ago and there is still an empty spot in my heart for her.NanaConniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724115459143098604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937780407413119045.post-38362036763829751592017-10-26T22:25:24.640-07:002017-10-26T22:25:24.640-07:00Basically, the only place we travel to is the vets...Basically, the only place we travel to is the vets when they need to go.

MY kitties do not to travel. One time,however, hubbie and I had decided that we wanted to set off a number of smoke bombs in the house for bugs. We live out in the country, WAY out in the deep woods next to a creek and the bugs LOVE our house. The directions on the smoke bombs said to stay away from your house for 3 hours, so we thought we would drive to Mississippi and back, with the cats! We loaded them in the back seat and set off down the highway, and they cried the whole time! We barely crossed the border, turned around and came right home, and the smoke bombs were all finished. If I can avoid traveling with them, I will!Michele K.

She is so happy to be home, and you must be elated! <br /><br />I'm falling a bit behind in the hop so I'm playing catch up - and by the look of the linky, I have a lot to catch up on! I left off commenting at #55 and now there are 106 entries! Wowzers! Congratulations for your successful hop! <br /><br />Thanks to all of today's featured sponsors - I will get around to thank them soon. Your story about travelling with Cindy and Amy was a good read. While I have not actually travelled with my cats, I have had to take them in the car for short trips (when we moved, vet visits, etc.). It is pure torture for me! Honeydew and Kiwi meow and cry loudly the entire car trip and they meow simultaneously. It is heartbreaking to hear them cry, and it's difficult to concentrate on driving. Brian usually goes with me because it's just about all I can bear. Plus there's no way I can carry Honeydew's carrier by myself - he weighs nearly 18 lb! Now Snowie, on the other hand, is a very good traveller and doesn't make a peep. Thanks for another fun day at the hop!KT Fit Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08869423405259440438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937780407413119045.post-24220089335131324802017-10-26T11:05:21.577-07:002017-10-26T11:05:21.577-07:00The only traveling I do with our cats is to the ve...The only traveling I do with our cats is to the vet. All of them are horrible travelers....they think their world is ending when you put them in a pet carrier and car....out of their comfort zone. They are happy "house" cats and never want to leave it. They cry at the top of their lungs all the way (about 10 miles to the vet and 10 miles back). All this makes me nervous listening to them. Needless to say they are so happy to get back home and so am I because they finally get quite! :)Beverly S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02088404570873676419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937780407413119045.post-71430950664201708212017-10-26T10:32:22.168-07:002017-10-26T10:32:22.168-07:00I remember the crazy idea of trying to drive my br...I remember the crazy idea of trying to drive my brothers cat to his new apartment without a Carrier. We got her in and I turned the ignition on.. well she flew from one end of that car to another, claws out!

It is like you are familiar with the subject matter. ;-)<br /><br />Traveling stories--Denise bit at the metal mesh door of her carrier so much she broke a tooth and that cost big bucks to have removed. Uwe peed the most vile stinkiest cat pee ever all over his carrier. Even the vet said they'd never encountered such wicked pee before. Uwe and his carrier got to come back home in the bed of the truck.<br /><br />A good story is Cindy came from New Mexico and I lived in Arizona so on the trip back home my mom drove and I held Cindy on pillows on my lap. She fussed if she was in her carrier but did fine on my lap. The trip involved 2 border patrol checkpoints where you have to declare your citizenship. They are manned with armed people and usually a big dog or two. They'd see us with our little cat loose on the lap and wave us through. So now you know how to smuggle illegals into the county.

My story...Love the Feed Me image and your fun card!<br />My story... we were moving and had a temporary stay in the area before we were to head north. We were going to stay at my Mom's house, myself, hubby and our daughter and one cat, Kimmy. Out other cat, Spooky, needed to go to another town close by to stay at my mother-in-law's house. The two cats didn't get along too well and we thought it best to have them in separate houses during this interim period. So I needed to transport Spooky about 30 minutes away. I had a cardboard carrier, and my daughter and I loaded him up for the short trip. Spooky was my big 16 pound male cat. Well, in that short drive, he became so nervous he had diarrhea. When we got to my m-i-l's condo, I had to take him upstairs to the bathroom and shampoo him to clean him up.

Love it!<br /><br />My best traveling story comes from when I was a teen and helped a family friend drive their the last of their possessions, her two daughters and Siamese cat from IN to CA where here husband had already started his new job. The kitty litter box and bowl sat on the passenger side floorboard, the girls in the back and the cat anywhere. I learned a lot on that trip... like the laws of physics - When kitty gets kitty litter in her waterbowl, you do NOT dump it out the window while going full throttle down the highway as it will immediately come right back in... all over YOU! Then I learned why mothers get nervous when the kids get quiet. The girls had been quiet a long time and, since their mom was driving at the time, she asked me to look and see what they were up to. Didn't want to wake them if they were sleeping. I was shocked to see a PINK Siamese cat sitting patiently on the floor with the girls! All three looked up innocently... "Kitty was hot, so we finger-painted her with Kool-Aid all over!"

The immediate peeing in the carrier and yowling the entire way makes me cringe having to take them in the car, even 5 minutes to the vet. LOL Funny that info on their breed said they LOVED to ride in the car and showed pix of them happily sleeping on the dashboard. Apparently Goliath and Jezebel didn't get the memo. <br /><br />Oh, and I just now remember taking Kahlua (RIP) to the vet in one of those cardboard carriers. She was trying so hard to go out that I had to hold the handles together with one hand as I drove and she kept reaching through the air holes in the top and scratching me. I arrived at the vet all bloody. They thought it was Kahlua that had been hurt, but it was me. xxD dlmundinger(at)yahoo(dot)com USADonnaMundingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03189053739828220311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937780407413119045.post-18130237957279968172017-10-26T05:01:43.467-07:002017-10-26T05:01:43.467-07:00I don't really have any traveling tales with a...I don't really have any traveling tales with any of our cats.

I had all my worldly possessions in the van including my beloved black cat Squeaky, who was then about 15 years old. We got caught in a huge blizzard on the French side of the Alps and had to sit in it without moving for 3 hours. The snow around us ended up about 1 foot thick on the motorway !!!! She was in the cab with me with the heater on... it was soooo cold. All in all she was very calm during the whole trip :-) I think my kitty enjoyed living here in Greece and at the end she was 21 going on 22 when she passed away. :-)ikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14103054252736147450noreply@blogger.com
