Here are some more information for Cat Drive:

We recently had some new neighbors move in next door and they brought their cat with them. This is all fine and good however they leave the cat out all night which I do not leave ours out even though we have a 6' privacy fence we do not let ours out unattended. About a month ago I was awakened in the middle of the night by a screeching cat fight outside of the house. I did not get up and go outside to investigate as it quickly subsided.

Several weeks ago it happened again so I got up this time and went down stairs to see if I could figure out what was going on. By the time I got downstairs it had ended however two of my cats were upset and trying to get to the basement window (the only one on that side of the house). I have shelving units under that window so it was fairly easy for them to get to the window and look out. After getting my cats calmed down with assurances and attention I went back to bed.

A couple of days later I was awakened by a cat fight inside my house. My cats rarely are aggressive with one another so I ran downstairs this time as sounded like they were really going at it and I did not what my pets to hurt each other. All of my cats were in the basement two in the floor extremely upset and one (Bootsie) on top of the shelving unit fighting the neighbors cat through the window. Our basement window has a window well on the outside and the neighbors' cat was in it face to face with Bootsie through the glass growling and smacking the window. Bootsie was extremely upset and would not let me handle him however I managed to shoo the other cat away. After getting my cats all calmed down again I placed a large box on the top shelf to block most of the window and went back to bed.

The next day I checked the window and shelf and all was good. I understand the cat's territorial instincts however this window is on a street side of the house, as I live on a corner lot, and I could do nothing to prevent the cat from getting to the window. For now the box seemed to be working so I left well enough alone.

Surprise three days later it happened again in the middle of the night. This time when I got downstairs Bootsie had managed to move the box partially out of the way and the cat outside had managed to force the window open about an inch and the two felines were taking turns boxing the window frame trying to get at each other. This time it was harder to drive the other cat of however I managed to scare it by slamming the window shut and pounding on it a few times. It is late and I am tired so I calmed my cats once again and went back to bed.

The next day I got a bigger and heavier box and place it directly against the window and blocking almost all of it. This did not work either because a few nights later they were at it again as Bootsie had a small space the box did not cover to get to the window. I guess I am going to have to put some chicken wire over the window well to keep the neighbor's cat out and away from Bootsie. I hope this works as I love my pets and do not want them stressed from territorial disputes if I can help it. It would be nice if the cat would wake up the neighbor instead so that they would make sure that they get him in at night.

I have raised and cared for cats for over forty years dealing with all the Cat Behavior Problems and a few diseases. I will always have cat(s)as my wife and I love them dearly. We currently have three having as many as nine at one time in the past. Mostly we have taken in strays and providing them a home and getting immense enjoyment from them.

Factors To Consider When Traveling With Your Cat

Some cats enjoy traveling where others do not; it really depends on your cat's personality. Traveling can either be and easy or difficult task when you have your cat in tow. There are different ways that you can travel and there are also different things that you need to consider with each mode of transportation.

Articleing your Air Travel

Traveling by plane can be quite tricky if your cat hates flying. You might have the option of having them on the plane with your or having to send them below into an air conditioned cargo area especially designed for pet travel. Some airlines allow you to take your cat along in a carrier that can fit below the seat in front of you. You need to specifically ask the airline if this is an option or not, plus you need to consider if your cat will fit into such a carrier.

If this practice is not allowed you will have to have your cat in a carrier and check them into the cargo area. If you plan on traveling with your cat you need to make your reservation far in advance and inform the airline that you will be traveling with a cat. You also have to make sure that your carrier fits the criteria of the airline. You might even be able to have your cat sedated for the flight time frame by your veterinarian to make travel a little easier.

Packing up the Car for a Trip

If you cat likes to go on car trips with you, then traveling a long distance by car is going to be a piece of cake. On the other hand if they detest it, it might not be the most enjoyable trip. Either way, you need to make sure that your cat is ready to travel with you. First, you definitely need a cat carrier when you are driving to help keep your cat safe and so you won't become distracted while driving.

You also need to make sure you cat has their collar on with their identification tag on it. If you cat doesn't like the car, you might want to try getting him used to it in advance by taking your cat out for short trips around the block or down the street. Before you leave on your trip, you need to make sure to pack your cat's bag as well as your own.

You need to make sure that you have their bowls, food, medication, litter box, litter, cat bed, cat toys, and some sort of scratching post so he doesn't tear up the room of wherever you are going. If you cat absolutely freaks out when you put him in the car, you might need to come up with another plan for your cat while you are away.

Not Brining Fluffy on the Trip

If you have the cat that freaks out whenever you try to travel by plane or by car, you will probably have to come up with a different plan. You can choose to leave your cat with friends, at home, or in a boarding place. Whatever you choose will probably depend largely on your cat and their attitudes and ability to adapt. A boarding place will allow you to leave your cat in a place where they will be taken care of.

Unfortunately not all pet boarding facilities are a great place to leave your pet, so you will have to do a lot of careful research before just dropping off your cat. A friend of family member might take in your cat so they can take care of all your cat's needs while you are gone. You can also choose to leave your cat at home if you will only be gone a short time, or have a cat sitter stay at your home with your cat.

Don't ask just anyone, make sure they can be trusted, and make sure to leave them with a list of things such as what food you feed, when you feed, when to clean the litter box, and any emergency numbers as well. For some, this might end up being the best option for their cat.
