Just took our 172 out this weekend for the first trip and with one cat (full time indoor)  - he's diabetic and needs shots 2x a day.  During the day propped up/open the bottom bunk with his tall scratching post and put litter box and his pet bed in there with a curtain screen.  He hung out there all day. At night put the litter box under the dining table so could collapse the bunk for sleep.  He was pretty stressed the first day and night, but did much better the 2nd night.  Will try for a longer trip and see how he does. He did like looking out the pod windows.

We took our two cats--Desi and Lucy--when we took ¡Podtástic! out for the first time.  They enjoyed it once they got adjusted to the trailer and all.

We took them last year in a popup, other than them being cold, which should be better in tha pod, having to take care coming in and out, it went fine. Worst part was the litter box. It took up allot of room. Took us 6 months but finally found a small litter box for them. We clean their loo every morning and some times in the evening so a small will work better. Also we got them some sleeping mats, but I think they will do like last year and use our bed again. Only time they went under the covers. Shows how cold a tent trailer can get.
Ready to pod around!

I am so glad you asked!  Yes, I have two housecats  Tah (Tahiti) and her brother Bim (Bimini)
 
I have the RP175 and the RDome.  how do you keep them in and safe?  They are not declawed, so I'm thinking they will make shreeds of the tenting material.  they have toys and scratching rugs. 
they are both older cats and I'm hoping they wil not do that, but...
 
How do they fare in the mod?  I'm going to take them for a trial run for a couple of days and nights to hopefully get them used to it.
 
any tips would be appreciated.Ouch

I must be missing it, I see the 'pod on the right side but there is no link there.  I went to the bottom too and don't see it...

If you go all the way to the bottom (beginning) in January they took off from Wisconsin to Florida for a couple of months camping with a cat in their rpod.

Not anymore.  When we lived in our motorhome traveling around for 6 years we had a cat with us.  We would put the cat carrier of a seat, with seat belt holding it, open the door and she would jump in.  Then she would sleep until we stopped  for lunch.  She liked the big front window to watch the campground!

We have a cat but don't think we'll take her camping.  She goes outdoors at home and I can just see her running off into the great wilderness never to be seen again!  The dogs we will try.

Right now we only travel with the dog.  Since we have four cats, it would be difficult to take them all and as they are all older, I don't think they would enjoy it.   The next kitten that I get will be treated more like a dog as it is growing up and taken places so that it will be used to travel and then I hope to be able to take it camping.  That will make it easier for us to leave home and not worry about having to get someone over to take care of things at home. 

My boss has 4 kids and a husband that she camps with in an outback (no slideout) and they take their diabetic cat with them.   He seems to like camping and certainly likes it more than he likes boarding.  They use a harness to walk him.
