Tip for Traveling Cat Owners

Solving a problem.

The good news is that your cat was small enough to fit under the seat on the airplane during your 3-hour flight.

The bad news is that you missed the connecting flight and now you are stuck in the terminal for 3 hours and you know that your cat needs to go to the bathroom or at least certainly will before you reach your destination and get to a liter box.

Here is a solution. Take along portable litter tray, and several small bags of litter in zip lock bags. (It's a good idea to put a small amount of liter out of her at home liter box so that he or she will recognize the smell.)

Take your kitty into the restroom and set up his or her portable liter box and fill it with the kitty litter.

Chances are your cat will jump right in and take care of business.

Toss the kitty litter in the trash and wash out the litter tray. Be considerate of other travelers and do not rinse litter down the sink.

If you use a folding litter tray, the whole set up takes almost no room at all and can be placed inside the carrier.

We carry excellent in-cabin bags for cats. We suggest the SturdiBag pet carriers or the Sherpa brand bag as they are approved by all airlines. Get your cat used to the carrier days or weeks before your trip.
