Travelled and camped with my male cat for about 10 years.

He always came when I called, whether at home or on the road. I won many campground bets. I would yell his name once, sit down and wait. Within a couple minutes Lucy would appear and hop into my lap. Rarely did I ever have to call twice. If I left him out at night, he could be found every morning under the hood of the car. In cold climates, finding a warm car engine is a cat survival technique.

He liked car trips, never had him on a leash.

After the cat died, we got a Wheaton Terrier who would occaisionaly would turn around to see who was calling before she trotted off on unauthorized adventures. Most often, she interpreted 'come' as 'run'.

I simply cannot go out camping without my two basset hounds. Tongue

We regularly camp with our cat, Tango. She loves it. When we pull out the RV in the spring, she parks herself on the step as if to say, "Don't even think about leaving me behind!"

Tip: We put a plastic tub on the couch, covered with her favourite pillow, and it is the perfect height for her to look out the window or take a nap, or both. Once, at one of our regular campgrounds, when our "usual" site was occupied, our usually shy feline strolled into the middle of the site, sat herself down and almost spoke, "Get the heck out of my site, you squatters!"

In the motor home we always traveled with our cat. Now we travel with our 17 pound dog. We have a cat, but at 17 pounds, he requires a very large litter pan (has a dome top). Had to buy that style because he throws litter every where. He could never manage the rubbermaid dish pan of the previous cat of 6 pounds. Question is what facilities do you plan for the cat and where do you put it? We have no one to care for him so our trips remain short even in retirement.
