The are many modes of travel, and each has its own particular advantages
and drawbacks. Be sure to call ahead and inquire with the carrier before
you commit to travel with your cat.

• Not all bus lines allow you to travel with your pet, so phone ahead
  for information.
• Amtrak does not permit pets to travel in passenger cars but they may
  travel in cages or crates as checked luggage. (Be sure it is strong,
  large enough for your cat to stand up and turn around, has a place for
  food and water, is well ventilated, has an absorbent-covered leak-proof
  bottom, and closes securely. Label it with “LIVE ANIMAL” and both local
  and travel contact information.)
• Some cruise ships do welcome pets. Check with the cruise line or ask
  your travel agent.
