A calm trip with a cat comes down to packing right: a well-sized carrier, pee pads, pet (not human) wipes, food and water, comfort treats and toys, a leash, weather layers, and a small med kit covering disinfectants, digestion aids, anti-diarrheals, and antifungal cream.

How to Prepare Your Cat for Car Travel
Taking a cat out by car - for a vet visit, a move, or a trip - is stressful for both pet and owner. Most cats associate the carrier with bad experiences, which triggers fear and anxiety. The good news is that with preparation you can make travel far easier.

With the right carrier, familiar scents, pheromones and a little fasting before departure, car rides can become calm and safe.
Pet Vomiting (Part 3): Vomiting from Internal Parasites and Toxicity in Dogs and Cats
Internal parasites living in a dog or cat's gut irritate the intestinal lining and trigger vomiting, sometimes expelling visible worms.

Why Cats Foam at the Mouth and How to Treat It
Foaming at the mouth in cats often comes from excess stomach acid, unsuitable or excessive food, poisoning (lilies, acetaminophen), or stress.
