Percentage of RV'ers that travel with cats.

I was watching a television program on RV'S and one of the question was what percentage of RV'ers travel with cats?

There answer was 15 percent.

In my experience that's true. In fact, almost every RV has a dog. I think the newer Class A's come standard with a small dog.

While I don't have a cat my parents did and only one liked to go in the car. The cat (spunky) was raised with two German Shepherds and all 3 liked car rides.

If he were a cat, you would have written "we're so lucky to have him". :B

The last time I camped with a cat in the trailer, he got out and climbed up a tree right before we were set to leave. My Mom refused to leave without him (as did we kids), so my dad spent several hours trying to get up a big pine tree to grab him. He finally got him and told my mom no more cats on camping trips. We always had our dogs with us on every trip - whatever we had at the time came camping with us.

Now, I camp with the two dogs and the parrot. I was worried about the parrot at first as he was at least 31 years old and had spent 30 of that never going anywhere and the last 4-10 years never leaving his cage. But he LOVES to camp.

The cat is too nervous and stays home. Over the years, I had two cats that I would have taken camping - the others wouldn't have been happy camping. My polydactyl would have been a good camper - he didn't climb (his extra toes got in the way) and he was extremely laid back and relaxed.

I guess I didn't realize the percentage was so high, but then cats usually stay indoors and are not seen.

I do. Well, one cat. It's pretty rare to see that.
