I being trucking with cat for 3 years now, up to now I just use the tidy cat lightweight clay litter, sometimes mix with scented. what litter do you use? I do believe it is good to use common stuff so if you ever need resupply on the road it is easy to find.

I am wanting to bring my cat along with me on the road but I am not thrilled at all about the litter box smell. It's a company truck that is pet friendly but I still have no desire to have the things stinking like cat litter. My parents drove with their cat and that was the one thing they warned me about and they were able to put the litter box under the bunk with the cat being able to fit through an air vent hole there's room for a litter box in my truck, but it will have to be inside the cab unfortunately

35,000 miles and 22 states so far for this orange cat

I haven’t been on the truck with my boy in a few years because I’m local now, but this popped up on my memories, thought you all would enjoy 💪🏼

Hi all,

Just done my first 24hrs in the truck with my cat. He doesn’t seem to have gotten much sleep. Should I be worried or will he settle in and sleep better soon? He’s always been a lazy boy anyway, I thought he be conked out on the bed all day

Edit! - cat tax

don’t want her to overcook!

I’m going to be starting on the road soon switching over from a local job, I’m looking to see if anyone can offer me some advice. I was considering getting an automatic litter box initially but haven’t seen anyone talking about them and if they’re a good idea or not. Also any other advice for starting out would be greatly appreciated :)

UPDATE 3:

SHE’S BEEN FOUND!!
She is safe and home again.

She was found under a pallet outside of the Lowe’s by a very nice man who picked her up and took her home to look for her owner. He and his wife found the Facebook post and contacted my niece.

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who reposted, commented, looked, and shared in the search! ❤️❤️

Hello everyone!

I wanted to try to help out my niece. She is a trucker and her overly- adventurous cat, Rosiah, jumped out of the truck yesterday and has been missing ever since. She is heartbroken and has been searching constantly for her ever since.

I am hoping if anyone has seen/sees Rosiah near the Lowe’s parking lot at 1101 N Saint Augustine Rd in Valdosta, GA, they can please reach out to her at the number on the flyer on this post, it would be really appreciated.

Even if not, thank you for taking the time to read this.

UPDATE- First, thank you for all of the kind words, boosts,helpful advice, and sharing the post.

Rosiah is still missing as of 8/18/2026. We’ve called shelters, posted in multiple places, and a search of the same area has been done again late last night/early this morning. Blankets with scent and treats/food were left.

We’ll continue searching for her and appreciate those who are still keeping an eye out for her in the area. I wanted to give an update and a heartfelt thanks to everyone.

UPDATE 2- She still hasn’t been found, but there is a $150 reward if she is found and returned safely.
We did see the tip on the post on [r/Valdosta](r/Valdosta) and are searching in that area.

This is Pearl in a U-Haul we drove for three days to move across the country. He’d been through many road trips and always a trooper bc he liked it. I miss him so much. I try not to compare him with the cat I have now, but it’s hard. He was so special. He is by far my favorite pet I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot over the years. We had to put him down last year and one of the worst moments of my entire life.

Hi just want to know some of your thoughts. I have spent so much money on this move I don't have money to get my cats medication from the vet. I've heard all the tips and tricks but I can't afford pheromones or supplements at the moment. They each have good sized well ventilated crates with their stuff In it. Their blankets, pillows, toys, stuffed babies. They sleep in these crates already as I keep them under my bed for storage anyhow so they willingly sleep in them from time to time. So I'm basically raw dogging this trip haha. Has anyone else done this? My cats don't regularly ride in the car this will be their first major trip besides vet visits in the past ... They are 5,4, and 3 years old. And please I beg of you no common sense input. Like "make sure they're in the crate when you get in and out of the vehicle" (obviously) or "microchip them" I do not have money for a vet visit for bells and whistles. Just genuinely asking if there's those of you out there as nervous as I am who ended up having to go the basics route.

Once my cat is in the truck she's great and seems to enjoy it.. it's leaving the house that she doesn't like at all.

The past couple times coming off my break she's been hiding under the bed/behind the couch when she sees the carrier. She also knows when I start packing clothes or getting her litterbox that it's that time and starts hiding.

I just wanna know if this is common. I've tried tube treats and cat nip to bribe her but it doesn't help- she just hates leaving the house. Makes me feel terrible every time.

This is Carl. He's about 5 months old and just figured out how to work the automatic Windows. He hopped out last night at the Myerstown Pilot off i-78. If anyone does spot him please let me know. Thanks in advance

1300 miles with one stop in carrier in SUV. How to handle potty, food, water? Appropriate ways to sedate a little bit? Anything helps, thank you. She’s 12lbs for medications.

She is nice and comfy.

I am thinking of bringing my cat with me. OTR. I am concerned about my sleep…. Cats are nocturnal, well mine is. I have to close my bedroom door at home because if he has entry he wakes me up at 3am… I get up at 5am, he is waiting at my door…
I am still in school and I am not planning on bringing him with me right off the bat of course but… I am planning on trying it eventually.
Anybody has insight?

My boyfriend is a trucker and we've been talking about me joining him on the road, my biggest concern with that is that the babies will absolutely hate it. We have 2 cats, one less than a year old, and one thats 4. The baby doesnt mind car rides, but the 4YO isnt much of a fan. Also was wondering where you put things like the litterbox, and if theres anything else I need to consider (about the cats) before making a decision. I figured if this is something were going to actually think about, we would also try them in the tuck for a week or so to see how they do before fully commiting. Also in the pics the tuxedo is my baby girl Barbecue, and the one eyed fatty is her older brother Willie<3

Maybe a trucker or two or three can help with taking this sweet baby to it's forever home

Google ai says it's toxic. She got some 5th wheel grease on 3/4 of her paws and I used a damp rag to get as much as I could off but she fucking HATES her paws being touched and she was starting to make like demonic noises she was so mad lol. Her paws still have some blackness to them (mostly the furry parts) but there aren't any chunks on them or anything, it's probably mostly stained at this point. Do you think she will be ok when she goes to clean her paws later? It seems like she would be ingesting an incrediblyyyy negligible amount.

Pic related, this was before I cleaned them, they don't look nearly as bad now but

I was told by a comment that he may have accidentally jumped out from a truck, so reposting here in case it helps find his owner.

Edit: the vet checked for a microchip and he didn't have one sadly

Thought I would share some photos of my 6 month old Maine coon finn from over the weekend!

i really badly wanted to take my cat with me but my company says it has to be declawed in order for me to be able to. are all companies like that? i do not want to do that to my son.

It's been awhile since I've posted any pictures but Molly and I are still on the road and doing well. She still loves going for walks and riding in daddy's lap for the majority of the day.
