I am going camping in a couple of weekends and I would like to take Tucker along with me.

No way, I would have been too scared they might get away and get lost.

I've never used "lol" before, but need to - you've just got to hear this story! I was moving, and it just happened that a group camping trip was planned at the same time. The planning worked out perfectly, where I left one place and stopped by the camp ground With Cat on my way to our new city. I've never been so embarassed in my life!

My cat Simon spent two solid days marching around the woods at the end of his leash, going "wow wow wow wow", including 8 hours straight at night. You wouldn't want to have seen the looks everyone else gave me, kind of like "you dastardly person, putting your sweet kitty through this! oh, the poor little darling, maybe he'd be better off with someone else". They obviously didn't know Simon. Of course, he also spent the entire two and a half hour drive to our new home wailing at me in his carry kennel, from where he was facing me on the passenger side front seat. He did that whenever he had to ride in any car, to anywhere.

Those were the only kinds of situations where he ever did anything even remotely like that - he was known for laying across the back of whatever chair I was sitting in, or yowling outside of a door I'd closed behind me that he couldn't follow me through, or sitting on window sills and smiling at whoever talked nicely to him.

But wouldn't taking Tucker on a camping trip be the same as taking him to say a cat show?

Hi Bridget,

Both a cat show and a camping trip are designed for human fun. I don't think cats have fun at a cat show. I think they are happier being free from the restraint of a harness or cat carrier and able to run and play freely, as they can do at home.
