why does my cat lose its mind in the car and how do i keep it safe?

Car rides with my cat are always a dramatic event. Unlike dogs, my kitty is not a fan of road trips. The second she sees the carrier, she’s plotting her escape. I learned the hard way that letting her roam free is a disaster—she once tried to wedge herself under the brake pedal! Now, I always use a sturdy, well-ventilated carrier with a soft towel and her favorite toy inside. I strap the carrier in the back seat and keep the AC running, because a hot car is a big no-no. I never leave her alone, not even for a minute. Before long trips, I give her a tiny meal and pack all her essentials: food, water, litter, and meds. Short practice drives help too. My secret weapon? Talking to her in my best soothing voice. She still meows, but at least we both survive the trip! #CatTravel #PetSafety #FelineFriends #TravelTips #Pets #Cats
