Can Cats Travel by Train?

More and more trains are allowing pets to travel. While they are becoming more open to pet travel they still have different requirements that must be met prior to boarding. The best way to prepare for a train trip with your cat is to call the train line ahead of time and speak with a representative about requirements for travel. You need to know if your cat will be required to stay in a carrier the entire time. Ask if there are specifications for the size of the carrier and if there is a weight limit for the cat and carrier separate or together. If your trip requires you to change trains, make sure the connecting train also allows cats to travel. Most importantly, make sure your cat can travel by train and won’t get motion sickness. Or at least contact your animal hospital Webster, NY and request medication to carry in case your cat does get sick on the train.
