Grandpa Climbed Into the Old Truck. The Cat Climbed Into His Lap

AI imagemaine coonold trucksilver cat

The truck's leather seats are cracked and the wheel is wide and thin, and Harold sits behind it with a quiet smile on his face. Smoky is perched upright on his lap, her silver ruff puffed out, her golden eyes fixed on something out the windshield. Through the open window behind them, a warm living room glows with a lamp and a plant, so the truck is clearly parked at the house. The two look like they are about to set off on a long and important journey.

Cats and cars do not always mix, and it is worth knowing the safe way to travel. A cat should ride in a secure carrier, fastened with a seat belt, rather than loose in a lap or on a dashboard, since a sudden stop can injure both of you. Many cats feel anxious in vehicles, so getting a cat used to her carrier at home with treats and a soft blanket makes the trip easier. Never leave a cat alone in a parked vehicle, because the temperature can rise quickly. Maine Coons are large and calm, but even gentle cats can bolt when a door opens. Ask your vet about carriers and travel tips, especially for longer trips.

For this moment the engine is quiet and nobody is going anywhere. Smoky seems to be enjoying the view just as much as Harold, and the truck is a fine place to sit.
