She looks like my baby love. I name my little girl KlingOn because she is either on my lap or by my side. From 11/21-8/22, I lived in my Jeep for 9 months traveling from FL to CA. My family and friends found out and pressured me into getting an apt. Well, I don't want to keep paying $15K/year for rent. So I'm wanting to find a Box Truck or Cargo Van with no windows to travel 100% Stealth. But I have a cat, but I'm not sure how to create a CATIO to keep her cool in the summers, while I'm away for 1 or 2 hours. If I get a Box Truck, I will be able to hide an A/C unit above the cab with a Wind Deflector like the 18 wheelers have, then I can create a craw space there. But if I get a Cargo Van, I was thinking of creating a small opening in the floor that leads down into a cage, so that she is Covered, Hidden, Protected, and has a 4way Cross Breeze.
Box truck will also allow for more solar to power consistent A/C and provide more comfort, but then you can be limited by size. A van is more versatile but less options and space with the little one. But you sound like you are really thinking it through and I am sure the cat will be happy wherever as long as they are with you!
I live in the PNW so even on the hottest summer days in my area, it was only around 80F. Check temperatures inside the vehicle it got to around 85. At some point I got a fan for her but she didn't like it so we just stopped using it. On a road trip I found her limit was about 95F, that's when she would pant and whine to me. So I just always stayed in places under 90ish.
how do you prevent your cat from scratching the seats? thats my only doubt with living with my cat in my jeep...ive let her scratch up old couches and not care but a new jeep would not be ok lol
This video is too old now probably but she might be easier with a harness. It's more comfortable to them rather than the collar & the leash and you can get them quite reasonably priced😊
You should really be tied in to the hard points of your harness, not to a carabiner clipped to your belay loop. That might be acceptable for something like glacier travel but it isn’t for rock climbing, especially for leading.
This is wonderful! I have been anxious about living in our rover next few months and I mean I can deal with changes but I’m really worried about my cat but it seems like a bunch of ppl do do it, i will be with her all the time so honestly after watching and reading the comments it’s put my mind at ease, u can do it we can do it thanks!
But since I have elderly dogs maybe when they die I'll bring my cat with me on the road. You don't even have to get out of the car to take a cat to the bathroom that's really good. The way I do it with my dogs, if I'm going to sleep at Walmart......... I would take my dogs to the bathroom in some other place before I get to Walmart, so that way I don't have to get out of the car and nobody's going to know it's a solo female traveling.
She always rips around without a leash. Her and I have built a strong relationship over the years so I have no fears that she will wander off, she always sticks near by and comes with called. (:
@@shellyperez6707 She knows to follow when one is on but she isn’t a fan so I don’t do it anymore. I do my best to respect what she is comfortable with and seems to pay off with trust and desire to stick close.
Honey is beautiful! We have three cats - and your video has inspired us, during our unintended homelessness, that it IS possible to take care of our therapy pets and animals in a car.
I could be wrong, but when you were smacking on the Alan key to get the front right caliper off.. it looked like you were hitting it to turn it clockwise..? Wouldn't that be tightening it?
Awww.. I am about to be living in my chevy equinox with my cat in a couple of days after losing my house of 6 years and i was so panicked about how he would transition to it. This made me feel a lot better 💯♥️😌
It's better your cat stays with you regardless. Many people give them away not knowing it hurts them to loose their whole life. It's not where you live that matters. It's you they want to be with with.❤
Seconding Theomartin's reply, I take solace in knowing that whatever I may lose, Ami is always going to be by my side, and if things get really desperate she will bring me mice. d:
@@seandevlin3948 I'm the same way. My girl 😻 LUNA will stay with me, even if we have to go stay in the car because rent is just too high. I will not give her up without a fight.
I was just curious about this. I have a regular small Nissan though and my cat is leash trained..so if this were to ever happen..I think I could make it work. Recession is next year I hear so I’m preparing for the worst
