Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

RVing with our cat
Permalink  

We are taking our cat with us, I purchased an expensive but hopefully worth it Littermaid Deluxe self cleaning litter box. Has anyone else used on of these?

Besides the litter box situation, is there any other problems, or issues you have had living with your cat on the road or in an RV park. I already made our reservations for an RV park in Bastrop TX. They allow one small pet.

Has anyone else ever taught their cat to walk on a leash? I call it going out for a "drag" because he doesn't want to move on a leash.

Thanks for any responses in advance.

Damian and Dawnconfused

If you go to "Fur, Feathers & Fins" instead of "Community Chat" you will find many discussions of Cats and RVs.

Our cat was leash trained by us as a kitten and does quite well.  We know people who out stubborned their adult cats into being leash trained.  Each cat has its own personality so you have to figure out how your cat will do in all kinds of situations.

Dawn, our feline is as happy on the MH as in the house (when we are there).  He does not go outside, but loves his "sunporch" (dashboard).

He was five years old on his first trip.  He is a great traveler and wonderful member of the family!

Why force the cat to go out? A lot of cats are house bound and happy with the life. We've had many cats and none of them ever left the house unless we carried them to the truck on moving day.
Good luck,
Fred

No pun intended but just remember cats are a favorite food  of coyotes if you are in the western states not to mention they do roam just about everystate.  While living in N.M. they come through many campgrounds looking for food.  So I would always keep my cat indoors if I had one for a family pet. Even when we lived in our stick and brick they would come into the neighborhoods looking for food.

We travel with two adorable Ragdoll Katts and they just love the RV. They are indoor katts, we decided that we would not do the "leash" thing because we didn't want them picking up any fleas - after two years of RVing we've managed to stay flea free. We think that katts are easier to travel with - no "walking in the rain" waiting to scoop up wet dawggie poop. We do have to scoop the katt box every day but it sounds like you got that one licked as well.
