She was already 7 or 8 years old and never got comfortable with even that, much less driving. I think you'd have to start young for the cat to really be used to it. I have seen cats casually riding in cars so it must be possible. Edward
years ago i had a tortiseshell calico who would climb into peoples vanagons when they came over to buy parts.. i had to tell them to keep their sliding doors closed. one time she climbed into someone westy, and went to sleep in the back. i got a call from the guy after he had left saying "are you missing a cat?" she apparently was so content on the rear bed (and was used to riding in a vanagon) that she didn't make herself known till he was like 30 miles away.. fortunately the guy was kind enough to bring her home... (i paid for his gas!!) |
