Assuming the cat is free to roam during driving, I don't imagine it gets much traction on that board when you go through curves....

Do you really think you need a fire extinguisher to spray the cat, if he is not behaving?

Three questions:
- Where does the cat throw up?
- How do you keep her from drinking from your cup?
- What is her name?

Keith... understand we're talking about a (spoiled
rotten) family member/'person' here. An older
citizen, too, at ~15 years. She's 'recycled' - her PO
didn't want to move her to CA with him so we saved
her from the pound. She's pet-degreed (Balinese Blue)
and seems to expect preferred treatment.

glack... when we're loaded & under way there's a bit
of rug under the litter box - it catches granules from
the box, slops from the water dish and gives her
traction over that part of the board. She usually curls
up in a cubbyhole amongst the luggage.

Schocki... sorry, the Halon is reserved for
the 'shark'.

Wally...
1. Anywhere she likes (but seldom; she travels ok)
2. Large cup, half full, low liquid level;
3. Tibbs

The 'Shark' & the cat get along pretty well.

The most I need for a long trip would be just plain water in a bottle.

Paul's extended cassette holder can have a little cup holder inside. Pretty nifty.

Made it out of a piece of exhaust pipe, flared it so the cup wedges itself in. 77Tony

Whatever happened to this loon?

He deleted the door vent to install the window and sunroof switches there - seen in that pic.

Saw a very nice looking 2 cup holder solution that Herman and Jerry are working on at 3rd Coast this year. Mounts where Tony has his exhaust cub holder.
