Going camping with your cat is an exciting thing. Who doesn't like to spend time with their cat? The love mood makes us want our beloved cat to feel the emptiness and beauty of nature, not just staying in a house. Although it is not as common as going camping with dogs, it is still possible. However, cats are sensitive and cautious animals. Before taking them out camping, you must be fully prepared to avoid scaring them. This article will introduce some practical preparations and cat products you can use, hoping to help you and your cat have a smooth camping!
Let your cat get familiar with and adapt to the camping environment in advance. A pet tent can be placed at home. When it gradually gets familiar with this sleeping place, it will not be afraid to stay in it when it is really camping. Furthermore, if your home has a yard, you can simulate camping with your cat in the yard first. It's a good idea to try, and paying attention to your cat's reactions will help you prepare a response beforehand.
Considering the reduced visibility at night, a reflective leash is best. This is of course essential, and although cats may resist being put on a leash at first, we don’t want them to get into accidents or get lost. It is necessary to try it beforehand, let the cat put on the leash for a while, feed it some cat cans or cat strips as rewards, let it stay relaxed, and gradually get used to the existence of the leash. This process requires repeated practice until your cat will not feel surprised or struggle after wearing the leash. Please stroke it more, it needs a sense of security and encouragement!
When you take your cat out, if it is inconvenient for you to lead it with a leash, a cat bag that allows the cat to stay safely inside can save your worries. Cat bags often allow cats to stay inside and see the outside world through transparent windows, which will also help cats adapt to the camping environment. If the cat really can't get used to staying in the camping place, a familiar cat bag can make it feel at ease.
Cats that have grown up under human care generally rely heavily on litter boxes. Of course, some cats prefer to find a pit to bury their poop in. However, in order to adapt to the daily habits of cats, it is best to bring their toilet tools when taking them out camping. Cat litter box, cat litter, cat litter shovel and cat poop bag, just like at home. You can put the cat litter box in the camping tent, so that the cat can go to the toilet at any time.
Bring something your cat likes and is used to. It has a familiar smell and will make it feel at ease in an unfamiliar environment. The blanket it uses to sleep, its cat bed, and the toys it likes to play with, etc. These things allow it to have fun and divert its attention from the unfamiliar environment to a certain extent, so that it will not be too nervous.
It is essential to keep your cat hydrated and fed throughout the trip, of course. Bring your feline friend cat food or canned food, as well as fresh water. You will also need to bring a simple cat bowl and water bowl. Or you may need to prepare a portable cat food and water dispenser if it is too much trouble for you to bring too much stuff. But in any case, make sure your cat will not be hungry or thirsty.
If your cat gets lost, having identification is essential. We don’t want any accidents to happen to our cats, but everything about taking a cat out for camping is unknown, so taking precautions is a guarantee for your cat. If your cat gets scared, stressed, or runs off the leash, an ID tag and microchip will be the most effective help. Also, make sure the information on your cat’s ID tag and microchip is up to date.
The first time you take a cat camping is always an unknown. No matter how well we prepare, cats may still not be able to adapt to the wild environment. This is understandable. Before preparing all this, we need to know that not all cats are suitable for camping, it depends on the cat's personality! If it really doesn't like to go out, don't blame it, it's just a little guy who grew up in the house. If camping can stimulate its feline nature or make it curious, that's the best! No matter what, cats will always be the furry angels that accompany us in our lives.
