How To Transport A Cat In A Car Without A Carrier
Introduction
Transporting a cat in a car without a carrier is possible, but it requires you to follow all of the steps listed in this post. You need to wear a long-sleeved shirt over a thin light t-shirt. Place a cat carrier face down on your lap, hold your cat in the carrier with one hand, then wrap the shirt over your lap and hold it secure. Then have someone drive while you hold the cat.”
Wear a long-sleeved shirt over a thin light t-shirt
To keep the cat from getting tangled in your shirt, cover your arms with long-sleeved shirts. This allows you to move freely without worrying about the cat getting hung up on any fabric or scratching you.
Covering up is also important because if the cat gets loose while you’re driving, they could end up climbing on top of something dangerous (like the steering wheel). Covering your arms can also help prevent this from happening.
Lastly, covering up helps keep the cat from sitting on anyone’s lap who isn’t driving—either yours or someone else’s!
Place a cat carrier face down on your lap
- Place the cat carrier face down on your lap.
- Hold the carrier with both hands, making sure that your thumbs are on top of the handle and your palms are facing up.
- Lift one hand off of the handle and place it under the belly of your cat, so that you can support her weight against her chest and stomach area (you may need to lift up slightly). Use this hand to gently stroke his fur from his head to his tail until he calms down enough for you to move him into position inside of his carrier. Do not let him sit freely in front of you; hold him firmly so that he cannot escape from his carrier!
Hold your cat in the carrier with one hand
If you choose to transport your cat in a carrier, remember that they can be quite dangerous creatures. They have sharp teeth and claws, and they don’t mind using them. Make sure that you hold on to the carrier with one hand while driving so your cat doesn’t escape. You may use two hands if you’re concerned about falling asleep at the wheel or if you’re afraid of dropping your feline friend in the path of danger. If a cat escapes from its cage during travel, it’s best for everyone involved if it stays inside until it reaches its destination!
Wrap the shirt over your lap and hold it secure
Once you’ve wrapped the shirt around your lap and held it in place, you’ll want to make sure it stays there. Do not let the cat escape! This is especially important if you’re driving at high speeds and need both hands on the wheel. Don’t be tempted to let go of the shirt under any circumstances—even if, say, a bird flies by outside your window. The cat will immediately spring into action and try to jump out of your car with that same amazing speed they used when they were running away from home (or wherever else they came from).
The last thing we want is for our cats to get loose in our house or car while we’re transporting them there safely by themselves. The best way to avoid this situation? Just keep holding onto that shirt until we reach our destination—and don’t get distracted by all those other things around us like birds or squirrels!
Have someone drive while you hold the cat
To make sure the driver is comfortable with the cat, you should ask them to do a test drive with you. It’s also important that they can see the cat and reach the pedals and road easily. If they’re not comfortable with cats, or if they need to have their hands free for other things like eating or drinking coffee, this method might not work for you.
If it does work for your situation, then here are some tips on how to make sure this system works well:
- Make sure that everyone knows which side of the car each person will be sitting in (e.g., “I’ll sit on this side so I can hold him/her.”).
- When both people are inside of the car and ready to go, tell them when to start moving slowly forward so that no one gets hurt when leaving your driveway or parking space (if applicable).
