Dont worry, I pet him so much before I had to go and after I got back. He's a very very good boy... Even when he throws up on my bed for no reason while surrounded by perfectly good hardwood floors.

"What's all this shit? And why isn't it my food?!"

I'd let him; look at all the stuff he's already gathered! Glad you love your part time vomit machine.

No, he just wanted that part of the bed.

There is the rare trail cat. They were often raised in it from kittens tho.

I took my 16yo cat on a summer-long camping trip this year. She had never been camping before, but she loved it so much!

That's so cool! How were you able to keep track of her? I'd be scared that my cat would find a mouse somewhere and get lost far away from home :(

Good point lmao!

That's such a valid fear! I didn't let her walk outside. I'd put her in a pet backpack for hikes or her carrier for tent teardown and such. There was a couple times when she tried to catch things burrowing under the tent, but I keep her nails nice and short so there was no damage to the tent.

She was so much more chill about it than I expected. I had gotten some of those calming treats with melatonin, but never ended up needing them.

That black and green thing in the background is a portable litter box with a pop-up enclosure. I had her start using it about 3 weeks before the trip, just to minimize the amount of new things for her which I think also helped keep her calm

Btw, vomiting is a vulnerable experience, maybe he feels 🤢 safer on your bed

Still worth moving him to the floor and making sure he feels safe there instead
