we have a caravan, and one year we took our cat.
We let her roam around when the doors and windows were shut. during travelling we kept her in a cage in the car.
when we were parked we also kept her caged, but eventually trained her to stay within the awning--with her food and litter tary. Its a risk at first, but take one day at a time. I think it depends on the cat, they all have individual personallities. I never used a lead--but maybe start now while you have time--worth a try---good luck!

Have a Microchip inserted. Also make sure she is wearing a collar and ID tags. Train her to a leash. Is she is a "home cat" i.e. not prone to wandering? I would be aware that she could get spooked by strange noises/smells etc. Depends entirely on the cat. Good luck :-)

Just a word of warning - have you tested how she/he travels yet? One of ours gets terribly car sick and we had a terrible time with her on a trip we took her on. Never again !!

My old cat hated travelling.She was quite capable of meowing very pathetically too so that it was heartbreaking to hear her. I have heard of cats which love to travel,although they do seem to be in the minority.

I would say, concerning taking your cat travelling- If in doubt ,don't.

Have just discovered that my cat that gets really sick travelling likes to be able to see out!! I suddenly thought last week that humans who get sick travelling like to see the horizon so why not a cat & sure enough she almost loved the trip when I piled up her cage to the window level. (This was only to the vet but even short trips she was getting sick.)
