4 Things Frequent Travelers Need To Consider Before Getting A Cat
Many frequent travelers who want to have pets opt for cats over dogs, thinking that these animals are like dogs without the work. While it’s not impossible to have a cat and be a frequent traveler, there are some unique challenges (apart from considering a dog) that present themselves and that you need to consider.
1. They Can’t Come With You
Every time you travel your cats will be at home waiting for you. You won’t be able to take them with you, even on moderately short road trips. Cats are territorial animals and don’t travel well or adapt to new surroundings as easily as dogs. If you’re a frequent traveler considering a cat you need to expect that whenever you’re not home, someone else will have to be, to take care of your animals.
2. The Cats Will Protest When You Leave
Cats themselves don’t like to travel but they also don’t like it when you travel. I’ve known a number of cats, including some of my own, that have thrown up, pooped, and clawed their frustrations out on a house – even when with a pet sitter living with them. You can reduce these anxiety-driven acts but never completely eliminate them.

Loading ...James, who voted ‘no’ and wouldn’t spend his savings for one trip made a good case for his position.
Would I like to see immense glaciers and cute penguins? Yes. But I’d rather be prudent with my resources and take OTHER trips, (cheap fares and hostels to Europe, long weekends in Mexico, etc) and have more experiences and memories filled in throughout a year than one giant trip…
It reminds me of honeymoons. Couples always take one big lavish trip to Rio or the Bahamas – and they make it seem as though they could never go anywhere ever again upon returning.
According to another poll I ran late last year, the global economic downturn hasn’t effected your travel plans too much and many are making the most of it.
