Tips on Traveling with Your Cat

Whether you're taking a short day-trip or a month-long trek around the country, pets can make excellent traveling companions. Here are some tips that will make the drive much more pleasant for both of you:

• Get a health certificate and proper ID.
• If your pet isn't used to the car, start taking some short trips and gradually build up to longer and longer trips. Not all pets like to travel, especially cats.
• Be sure your pets are welcome in the hotel or motel where you're staying.
• If traveling by air, be aware of airline procedures. Different airlines have different procedures for transporting pets.
