Is your cat coming along for the ride next time you hit the road for a big trip? Check out this guide by The Posh Kitty to learn how to keep them safe and comfortable along the way.
Last time I tried to take my cat to the vet, he tried to bite me, then refused to come out of the carrier when we arrived and had to be dragged! He didn't let me pet him for days after that, and that was only a 20-minute round trip! If you want to have any hope of keeping your cat comfy on an upcoming trip, then you'd better check out this guide by The Posh Kitty!

Sure, cats are not known for their affinity for travel, but there are ways to make sure they don't freak out, at the very least. Maybe that's a low bar, but a low bar is easy to clear! As long as the cat makes it to the destination healthy and relatively happy, then we have done our job as pet owners.
The guide explores train, plane, and automobile travel, focusing primarily on methods to keep your cat comfortable in its carrier for long periods of time. They also recommend care kit essentials, explaining that cats will likely be more receptive to travel if their regular routines are not interrupted.
Among other common difficulties addressed by the guide, the authors explore how to best navigate airport security and other checkpoints along the way. Cats not acclimated to this sometimes stressful process may panic, they explain, and practicing a mock version of the situation beforehand may help prepare the animal for the unfamiliar.
The main idea across all the guidance is to make the transition to travel feel gradual, rather than making the leap all at once. After all, if you woke up one day and were suddenly shoved in a box for 7 hours, you'd probably be pretty stressed out too!
The Posh Kitty has compiled this guide in the face of a somewhat surprising trend; APPA data shows that 22% of cat owners took their pet on at least 3 flights in 2023, a substantial increase over the prior year. 78% of pet owners in general reported traveling with their pets at least once, pointing to a larger shift in the overall pet care philosophy.
This guidance joins a wide range of information intended to help cat owners like you provide the highest quality care to their pets. In their other guidance, they showcase premium products and grooming techniques that you can use to pamper your cat, including supplements, beds, brushes, and more.
The blog creators explain, “The Posh Kitty was born out of a deep passion for both cats and the finer things in life. As discerning cat lovers, we noticed a gap in the market: while there were plenty of options for basic pet care, there was little available for those who wanted to offer their cats a more lavish lifestyle. We wanted to change that.”
While The Posh Kitty was launched only recently, they have quickly built a catalog of content and are continuously releasing new guides at a steady pace.
