Savannah Travel Tips?!

[moondiamond]

Thanks so much for taking the time to attach the links SavannahLuv! I checked out Hyendry, unfortunately I am in Ontario and it looks like they don't ship outside the US Otherwise I would have ordered from them for sure. Rafiki thanks for the info as well, I will look into the Mynwood ones! Hopefully one of these will be able to ship to Canada on time for our trip - we've been also wanting to take Dex out on the patio on a nice day since we got him but being that I'm paranoid, I won't do it without a properly fitted harness. Hope to be able to have some outside time before the snow comes!!

I had a traveling cat once upon a time and she literally went everywhere with me. plane, car, bus.
Now that I have Jambi I am hoping to introduce him to the same luxury. So far so good.. I have a little litter box on the floor of my car and a cage set up for him to hide out, on our 3 hour ride to NY he had gotten sick and I had to pull over and wash him up in a rest stop sink.
Rule #1 do not feed the cat right before you leave. usually animals will figure out they are going on a trip and wouldnt eat even during, don't be alarmed
I set the hotel room up and brought all his favorite thing, bed, toys, scratcher. he was just fine and when he needed a time out ...I put him in the bathroom.
On our way back he had already noticed what we were up to, an used the liter box in the car before we got on the highway and spent the entire trip curled up asleep in my honeys arms.

I know plenty would disagree about taking your pet out of the carrier while in the car, Miss Cudi would sleep on my lap the whole drive country, and if she got bored she'd find a window to look out of. Of course extended trips I let her walk around and smell everything on her lead. She was a world traveler like her Mama.

Do not be afraid to expand your kitties adventure side. They are so very appreciative, and learn to read your cats emotions and signs.
Hope this helps

I have a cat that gets car sick every single time she rides in a car - I've learned to bring extra bedding for the crate anytime I have to go anywhere with her.

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences! I have heard about car sickness in kitties Hopefully that doesn't bother our boy but if it does, nothing a clean up can't fix. I am really excited about the idea of bringing him places with us. We aren't world travelers but we do like to do little 3-4 day road trips and I would much rather Dexter be with me and my care than left with someone else. He follows me literally everywhere when I'm at home, he's my little shadow, so I have a feeling that as long as he's with us, he will have a good trip

I'm sure this would be Dexter's preference as well!

I was very impressed with Mynwood. From the time I placed the order, it was made, shipped and delivered in less than 2 weeks (shipped from UK to CO). That's definitely the only thing I wish Hyendry could improve on is their shipping time. Shango hasn't got to try out his new Mynwood jacket yet since I had it shipped to my parents house since we'll be spending Thanksgiving with them and a couple weeks after as well until we can move into the new house. I'll be posting pics of him wearing his new jacket within the next couple of weeks though.
