Since this has turned into dogs and cats - Our cat while in the truck was kept in a cat carrier. But, It seemed being in the covered "box" was too much like his covered cat box at home. He urinated each time we put him in there - and cat pee stinks! Letting loose in the truck has it own issues - and then there is the cat cry.
We tried leaving him in the trailer and he seems to do very well in there. He eats, drinks, uses the cat box and at times sleeps in the sink. When at the campgrounds he sleeps on a pillow next to the bedroom window, I'm guessing he still hasn't figured out why there is no view out the same window when traveling.
Deb has stayed in the trailer with him and she says he does great, moving around like we are parked.
Dangabbit porthole - you just made me choke on my tea from a sudden burst of laughter!
Then I kept cracking up thinking "what if we let all 3 cats ride in the trailer?" and I know:
Gabby would be stuck to the ceiling
Frass would look at us like "well, that wasn't interesting, yawn"
and ShuShu would be stuck in the smallest hole/space possible we'd never imagined she could fit into.
I've only had one kitty that loved to ride with me in the MH but he was a baby when he started so all 40' was his playground/nap/bug the mommy space. These 3 girls are rescues, never go outdoors and hate the 10 minute trip to the vets.
Since we are planning 6 month stints we already thought this logistic out and there is also Rocko & Ubu to think about as well. While the boys would ride in the Jeep following the trailer, they are used to it aside from "how come we haven't stopped at a park to play ball?" and the cats will be flown in via an airline that costs extra to transport our precious (when they are asleep) kitties. Yes, I'm cheap but the cost to fly them is worth my sanity
Don't have anything (yet) for frequent moves but I'm sure I'll come up with something.
