Do the cats get along well?
Togetherness
We're constantly amazed at this question. I usually get smart arse and reply, "They're cats. Who knows?" No - just kidding. But, they are cats ...sometimes they are the best of friends, others they'll studiously ignore each other. At times they will have wee fisty cuffs. Others they'll happily groom each other.
The amount of space they live in doesn't seem to bother them. There's lots of hiddy holes for each of them. They can lounge on the dashboard and view the world.
Where do they hide inside?
Everywhere is the simple answer.. the inside of an RV is chock full of hideaway nooks. They have their favourites, for sure, but every so often one of them turns up in a new spot we haven't thought of.
Our cave dweller is hard to spot in the cupboard
Chaussettes is our resident cave dweller. She loves dark cupboards, every morning she goes to the big hanging closet and settles way in the back. It's such a regular spot for her we've made a bed in there for her. Sometimes we forget she's there and close the cupboard, it doesn't bother her, she just goes on napping. We have to peer in to see the white hair on her feet or tummy to know if she's there. We also have to be sure to check the door is open if we go out for the day. She also loves hiding in the locker above our bed. The downside for her is she can't get up there on her own, her tummy is too large! She tried once, hung suspended for a few seconds before dropping down with an embarrassed look! Geordie can hop up there on her own but once she worked out we lift Chaussettes up, she suddenly needs to be lifted up too. All the cupboards and lockers get inspected, slept in and scratched through regularly.
Loud frightening noises has them scuttling under the driver's seat – Geordie sticks her foot out so we can always tell when she's there. Chaussettes also hides under the table.
Travel safe and have fun!

Introducing Geordie

-
Image
  This photo is a couple of days after she arrived,  I had my art gallery in Georgia and she slipped into the role of gallery greeter without missing a beat.  Geordie, about 4-5 months old, a flea ridden stray with attitude and a big mouth arrived on our doorstep in 2010 when we lived in a small town in the state of Georgia. Here's the story behind her name. My sister in South Africa had a character German Shepard named Geordie who loved cats. The day she died my sister called us, we all had a cry and I said we'd have a toast to the lovely girl that evening on our "New Orleans" style balcony in this small downtown area where we rarely saw any animals. We toasted her passage over the rainbow bridge, then stared in amazement as this skinny wee kitten came trotting up our stairs, meowing her heart out. She's not stopped talking since. I picked her up and said, "Geordie must have sent you!" Two weeks later my sister found C.D. (Cheerful Dog) abandoned ...

Hiking/Strolling with your pet

There's nothing like taking a leisurely stroll with your pet - it might be slightly unusual when that pet is a cat, but you see more and more of it. Now, some cats adjust to walking on a lead without problems. Geordie loves it and gets very antsy if she's not out inspecting her territory by 10:30 .am. each day! If the surroundings are friendly, she joins us for long walks. She's done over a mile easily at some spots.  Chaussettes on the other hand will have nothing to do with a harness and a lead. She has no desire to venture out. We don't force them. Geordie does and Chaussettes doesn't. And thats is that! Geordie has been anxious when she gets near running water in the past. But this year we took more strolls near rivers and slowly her confidence grew. We let her take her time, and now she actually goes right up to the water. If it's not running too fast or there's a pool she wades in. It's cool to see her investigating everything.  Just remember...
