How to Travel With A Cat

I’m going to be on tour traveling around and performing in venues all over the world and just have to bring my cat, Ninja along. I thought about sending her to my parents, thinking maybe the constant travel would be too much. However, I decided I would at least give it a try to see first.

Because of the constant travel schedule, I wanted to figure something out to be able to let her go outside like she would normally be able to do at home. And although she is leash trained, it’s hard to find time to super vise her all the time while she’s outside. I’ve been able to put her on a long lead and let her hang out outside by herself but just very close to the RV so that if an unleashed animal came by I would be aware and be able to get her inside without any trouble.

However, I wanted her to be able to walk around unleashed somehow… but don’t feel comfortable letting her around the parks we are at because of all the other animals (horses, dogs, and more)

So I was able to figure out this great (and cheap) tent set up. It’s 10 feet by 10 feet and cost under $100. It packs small, opens big and works great for my cat. She thinks the walls are real, and doesn’t know she can slip right out from under them. She whole-heartedly believes the only opening is by the zipper which is great because she doesn’t try to get out and is able to be off a leash inside.

In the above picture of me with my birds inside, you can see Ninja to the right, the black “blob” checking things out. It has been a dream having her in there and I’m able to easily spend time with her outside without having to worry or have her on a leash of any kind.

It’s a great traveling solution that has worked for me, that I hope can help some of you out there as well.
