• Use a Pet Carrier – Always use a pet
  carrier that is big enough for your cat to stand up, turn around, and lie down
  in comfortably.  You can also help your
  cat feel comfortable in the carrier by placing toys or catnip inside.
• Create a Sense of Familiarity – Cats
  can be very protective of their territory. 
  Making the car part of your cat’s territory is a great way to help him
  or her feel comfortable on trips. 
• Use Positive Reinforcement – Use
  food, playtime, or catnip as a means of positive reinforcement whenever your
  cat spends time in the car.  When they
  associate the car with good, happy things, they are more likely to be a better
  travel companion.
• Stop for Bathroom Breaks – If you
  are traveling a long distance, stop for bathroom breaks.  Harness trained cats can walk at rest areas
  along the way.
