Continued optimism for creating a Camping-Cat, based on my latest test run.
Based on how well the cat did in her carrier to/from the vet, I took her for a drive in my truck yesterday, in the "Pet Taxi" carrier on the passenger seat. She did well for most of the time, about an hour. I drove east from Bend (through heavy smoke, BTW), about 25 miles out in the high desert, then parked and let her out of the carrier to wander around/explore the cab. She lay quietly in the carrier almost the whole time, she yowled a bit when loose in the cab, looking out the window at the sagebrush desert near Pine Mt, but was calm and quiet when back in the carrier on the ride home.
This is much, much better than her panic-panting behavior the last time I tried a long drive with her, last September.
Tonight or tomorrow night we're going to "camp" in the camper at home, the first test of that aspect of this project.
