<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHiking with your cat is a fun activity that will keep your pet active while you’re out camping. Be sure to keep your cat leash-clipped and secure in a harness. Make sure your cat is wearing an ID tag, preferably with your cell phone number. If possible, consider investing in a GPS tracking device for your cat so you can track her down when she gets lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking your cat for a short hike is fine for both of you, but your pet may not be a fan of long walks. Instead, take your cat on a short, exploratory walk before heading back to camp. Because cats are not used to being outside, they will often mark territory to protect itself from predators. Despite this, many cats love to explore and walk around, so you should expect this behavior while hiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When hiking with your cat, make sure you pack basic medical supplies for your cat. Include some of his medication, along with some cat food. The Humane Society provides a list of items that you should pack, as well as sunscreen and lights that attach to a harness. Make sure to check the location of a veterinarian before leaving. Lastly, remember to pack a first aid kit for your cat. After all, you’re out in the woods, and vets are not always nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While hiking with your cat may seem daunting, it is not as dangerous as you might think. It can even be a great bonding activity for both of you. Because cats are curious by nature, it’s best to start small before tackling an extended hike. Try taking a short hike together on the first day of your camping trip to get your cat used to the idea. Remember that some cats are more adventurous than others and may feel uncomfortable or frightened in an unfamiliar environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
