QuestionHow do I facilitate my cat going to the bathroom in transit?Dr. Elliott, BVMS, MRCVS is a veterinarian with over 30 years of experience in veterinary surgery and companion animal practice. She graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1987 with a degree in veterinary medicine and surgery. She has worked at the same animal clinic in her hometown for over 20 years.You have two choices: use a large carrier with a litter box in one corner, or harness-train the cat and offer her toilet breaks en route. However, if the cat is fearful and anxious, she may well 'hold on' and refuse to use a tray while travelling. If this is the case, then line her carrier with puppy pads in case she has an accident. Puppy pads are absorbent mats which wick urine away from the cat to keep her comfortable.
