a surprise guest in the caravan


Last week we were going away in our caravan for a few days.
Emily & Smudge were in the house & Mitten was mooching around outside, this is what we do whenever we go away & my dad pops in daily to feed & check on them. (Mitten can get into a sheltered area where her blanket is & her food)
we loaded up the caravan & off we went!
We arrived, positioned the caravan & a face appeared in the caravan window, grinning & saying "meow"........... naughty Mitten had sneaked in the caravan
I was going to bring her home, but decided to see how she got on there, she loved every minute of her first ever holiday!

Hi Smudgley!

Wot a lovely tale!
How did you manage.....did you get a harness for her to take her out or did you keep her in the caravan all the time?

Watch out now, she'll want to go away with you all the time!!

Re: a surprise guest in the caravan


well, luckily we had a large folding dog cage with us - so we popped her in there when we first arrived.
Made a litter tray out of the base of a cardbord box & used soil in it.
Fed her on tuna - til we could get some cat food.
Then each morning (6am) we took her out for a walk (I wouldn't advise this as she could of done-a-runna) no harness, she just walked with us, then we let her snooze in the caravan, which she loved & made no attempt to try & escape, even though the awning was open. Then from lunchtime onwards she went in the cage & when we went to bed she slept in the caravan.
So we had a good routine for her.
6am - stretch legs.
7am - slob in the van
12.00 - cage
bedtime - in the van.
She purred away in the cage & loved watching everyone having fun. (she's such a nosy cat, it was her idea of heaven)
we also had 2 dogs with us & fun was had by all.

Re: a surprise guest in the caravan


my mother has a 2 year old cat and since he was 6 months (after he was done) she has taken him with her in the caravan, she used to put him on an harness but she dont bother any more. they go for a walk in the morning and he has a good run around and again in the night and then all day sleeps in the van. he loves it and has never done a runner,
