I agree that getting your kitty used to riding early on is the answer...good
luck...

I would generally agree with the other posters who said that it's best
to train
them to get used to automobile travel when they are young.
However, I did have a adult female Ragdoll that had only limited
experience
in a car, but took to it quite well.
I took her on a long trip once in a pickup truck. I had stuff behind
the seat and a
blanket on top. She would sit on the blanket right behind my shoulder
and look out
the windows for hundreds of miles at a time.
She would cry to me when she "had to go".
I would pull over the side of the road, open the passenger door.....she
would
jump out, sniff around a bit, then do her business. Then I'd tell her
to jump back
in the car, and she would jump back in and off we'd go again.
All together, this was a 4,000 mile trip with a 2 month lay-over at a
motel.
At the motel, she would go outside and roam around, and even make
friends with
some of the other guests as she was very friendly.
They would invite her in for a snack and then let her out again!
Damn smart cat.....but definietly an exception to the rule.

Ahah...another true Road Warrior. My Zildjian & Luthien travelled
with me across the continent (North America) five times, from
coast to coast, pretty much.
