Make car journeys bearable for his fellow feline
If there's one thing cats hate almost as much as water that is traveling in a car. If you necessary to take your feline companion on the road, there are some tips and tricks that can make the journey easier for both. With a little planning, you can have a pleasant experience and they get no worse for wear.
To prepare for your trip and prepare your cat in the process, trying to do these things:
Buy and use a cat carrier – never, always a good idea to travel with a cat that is not closed. Buy your cat a company that is right for your size and take the time beforehand to get used to it. Put your favorite blanket and maybe even some toys in the company and place inside your home through a little each day. Build time is limited until it becomes acclimated to the company. It is best to buy the company a few days or even weeks before a trip.
You get used to traveling – Once your cat is accustomed to being in the company, begin to draw a walk. Short trips can be build up your tolerance to travel. The more that comes around you with and get used to traffic noise and his car, the better.
Make sure the company properly positioned – not just set the cat carrier anywhere in the car. Take time to make sure it is as level as possible. Also strongly to prevent slipping and sliding.
Keep your cat in mind while driving – If possible, try to avoid the potholes and big bumps while driving. This will help ensure that your cat is most comfortable. Also has to be music to a deafening roar as not to have fear.
Plan to go to the bathroom – It's OK to put a litter box in a large company, but this may not be the best option. If your cat will tolerate a leash, let her out from time to time to stretch your legs and do his business. Still a good idea to have absorbent pads to line the company only in the event of an accident however.
Bring proper identification – Make sure your cat has its shots up to date and bring along their tags and vaccination records. This may be necessary register in hotels.
Call your hotel ahead of time – Take the time to find hotels that will welcome your feline companion before going out. This can save you problems down the road.
Remember to pack the essentials – Beyond the items to clean up after your cat, do not forget food and water and bowls to store these items in. You might need a small litter box and litter for hotel rooms, too.
Traveling with a cat always easy, but you can make tolerable for both. With a little patience and planning, you can make her as comfortable as possible while you are in the road.

Highway Companion $27.98 Tom Petty’s concept for his third solo album is laid bare in its very title: it’s called Highway Companion, which is a tip-off that this record was made with the road in mind. As it kicks off with the chugging Jimmy Reed-via-ZZ Top riff on “Saving Grace,” the album does indeed seem to be ideal music for road trips, but Petty changes gears pretty quickly, down-shifting to the bittersweet acoustic “Square One.” Although the album ramps back up with the ’60s-styled pop of “Flirting with Time” and the swampy, Dylan-esque “Down South,” the quick move to the ruminative is a good indication that for as good as Highway Companion can sound on the road, Petty looks inward on this album just as frequently as he looks outward. Perhaps this is the best indication that this is indeed a solo affair, not a rock & roll record with the Heartbreakers. Petty of course doesn’t go it completely alone here: his longtime guitarist Mike Campbell is here as is producer/co-writer Jeff Lynne, who helmed Petty’s 1989 solo debut, Full Moon Fever, and the Heartbreakers’ 1991 Into the Great Wide Open and now returns to the fold 15 years later. Lynne’s previous Petty productions were so bright, big, and shiny, they would have been suitable for an ELO album, and given that track record, it would be easy to assume that he would follow the same template for Highway Companion, but that’s not the case at all. Highway Companion has as much in common with the rustic, handmade overtones of 1994’s Wildflowers as it does with the pop sheen of Full Moon Fever — it is precise and polished, yet it’s on a small scale, lacking the layers of overdubs that distinguish Lynne’s production, and the end result is quite appealing, since it’s at once modest but not insular. But Highway Companion also feels a little off, as if Petty is striving to make a fun rock & pop record — a soundtrack for the summer, or at least a good drive — but his heart is in making a melancholy introspective album, where he’s grappling with getting older. This gives the album a sad undercurrent even at its lightest moments, which makes it ideal for driving alone late at night. Since it arrives after the bombastic The Last DJ, it’s refreshing to hear Petty underplay his themes here, and it also helps that Lynne helps toughen up his songcraft. All this makes Highway Companion at the very least another typically reliable collection from Petty, but at its core, it’s moodier than most of his records. It has a lot in common with Petty’s divorce album, Echo, but it’s coming from a different place — one that’s content, yet still unsettled. That may mean that this album isn’t quite as fun as it initially seems on the surface, but that bittersweet undercurrent does indeed make Highway Companion a good partner for long nights on the road. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi Performers: Jeff Lynne – Autoharp, Guitar (Rhythm), Vocals (Background), Bass, |

On the Road $40.79 Reportedly released as an effort to undercut bootleggers following a world tour, Traffic: On the Road was the band’s second live album in three years. The album chronicled a late edition of the band in which original members Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, and Chris Wood were augmented not only by percussionist Reebop Kwaku Baah, but also by a trio of session musicians from the famed Muscle Shoals studio, Roger Hawkins, David Hood, and Barry Beckett. The studio pros lent a tightness and proficiency to their characteristic free-form jams, and though they sometimes sounded like they couldn’t wait to get the songs over with, the tunes went on and on, four clocking in at over ten minutes. That might have been okay if the choice of material had been more balanced across the band’s career, but 1971’s Welcome to the Canteen had treated earlier efforts, and the 1973 tour was promoting Shoot out at the Fantasy Factory, from which three of the six selections were drawn. Unfortunately, that album was not one of Traffic’s best, and the live versions of its songs were no more impressive than the studio ones had been. Traffic: On the Road featured plenty of room for soloing by some good musicians, but it was the logical extreme of the band’s forays into extended performance, with single tunes taking up entire sides on the original LPs. It’s not surprising that, after this, Traffic shrunk in size and returned to shorter songs. [Though best known in its two-LP version, Traffic: On the Road was initially released in the U.S. as a single LP containing only four tracks.] ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Barry Beckett – Keyboards; Chris Wood – Saxophone, Flute; David Hood – Bass; Jim Capaldi – Vocals, Keyboards, Drums, Percussion; Rebop Kwaku Baah – Percussion; Roger Hawkins – Drums; Steve Winwood – Vocals, Piano, Guitar |
