DON'T GO, MOM ? My cat is worried we are leaving him ?
We are doing a cross-country move soon! This is me packing and preparing. Our cat, Nugget, has separation anxiety and always knows when we are about to leave the house. He knows we will be back in couple hours, so is usually fine and we don't have to worry.
But if we are gone for more than a day, he gets very sad. I usually have a relative or a friend check in on him, but he still isn't a fan of being alone! Right now Nugget is trying his best to stop us from packing :)
Subscriptions and likes are very helpful for Nugget and us! Thank you :)
He also bites even though he doesn't have teeth. Do the bites hurt? Subscriptions and likes are very much appreciated and helpful for us! Thank you :)

We got an elf costume this Christmas! Please enjoy his purring and angry kicks!
I know Christmas three two days ago, but with the moving and all, I hadn’t gotten the time to edit ?
And don’t worry, there were PLENTY of treats and hugs involved. I was worried he’d be a little too chonk but on the end, it fit great!

Cat essentials to bring: 2:02
Have you traveled with a cat before? Have they been calm during the ride? Well, we haven’t traveled much with Nugget before and this was our first experience on a LONG drive.
Nugget has extreme travel anxiety and throws up or does number 2 on even a 4 min trip to the vet. We were terrible anxious when it came to a THREE DAY TRIP across the country! In this video, I go over all the necessities for the road trip and our experience in the car. We stayed at my aunt’s house plus at a hotel and Nugget was a great trooper throughout!
I also talk about the necessities of a cat as you travel: everything from food to litter box to making sure they don’t run out of the car! This was also our first time trying a calming spray to try to make Nugget feel better.
Note: I have tried anti-anxiety medication with him after discussing with the vet and I DID NOT like how he reacted to it. It was Gabapentin. If you have had good experience with it, that’s awesome and I would love to hear about it!
Below is also a checklist for how to pack your car!
- cat calming spray (pheromones or catnip, whichever works for your kitty)
- 2 disposable litter boxes
- new bag of litter (we used clay litter as it's easy to clean up)
- litter scooper
- tracking mat or paper towels to cover the floor for litter tracking
- cat carrier with his favorite blanket and toy inside
- harness and leash
- blanket to cover the seats in case of accidents
- pillows to elevate him if he wants to look out the window
- wet and dry food
- fresh water
- food bowls
- lots of treats
- emotional support potato (optional for your kitty!)
