A cat is capable of familiarising to new situations and most of the time can accept a new environment with little or no problems. It's important to give time to adapt to their new environment. If your cat is accustomed to going outdoors, give him time to adapt to the new home before letting him out. He will also require time to establish his new home before letting him out. He will also require time to establish his new territory with the other cats in the neighbourhood.
The travelling cage
A frightened cat becomes unpredictable and is capable of fleeing or dodging away. This is why a travelling cage I so important. It's preferable that you don't feed your cat at least one hour before travelling, if so, he could get an upset stomached vomit while travelling. Put a blanket in the cage and a toy "if It's a kitten". If you have two cats and they get along together, you can put them both in the same cage, only if It's big enough for them to turn around easily inside.
Travelling in the car
Do not let your cat out of the cage during the trip. This could be dangerous for the driver. The cage should be placed on the seat of on the floor. During long trips, the humming of car engine will usually make the animals relax. However, if your cat dislikes travelling, don't hesitate to ask your veterinarian for something to calm your cat. It will take about half an hour for the medication to take effect.
Travelling by plane
For trips in a plane, your cat must be in a special travelling cage assigned by the air line. Inform yourself ahead of time.
