    I had a 6 month old kitten that was slightly feral and tame, nervous and shy. First night poor thing was crying all night...i didnt sleep.

    The second night the kitten managed too roll down the window and escape.

    If any of you find a black/ white cat at the travel centers in wheeler ridge ca let me know. He escaped about 5 months ago. Probably much older now.

    865455CF-78FA-44A6-9B81-3BD6214D020B.jpeg I’ve filed a complaint with FMCSA and DOT. They need to make it a law requiring at least one intelligent life form in every truck.

    We have 2 dogs who love going with us in the truck. But they do their business outside.
    I can't imagine a litter box in a truck.

    I've had several cats with me over the road and modern cat litter leaves little odor (cats are, after all, a fastidious lot). Get either a deep cat box as one of the above posters did or a covered one that fits somewhere, like in the passenger seat footwell area.

    Cats will also not willingly leave the cab of the truck, as a general rule, once they recognize it as their territory.

    My second cat was, in fact, the laziest critter ever:

    Good luck,

    Yes. You’re a wise man. I have the bib overalls also. Best winter wear I’ve ever had on. I laugh at a 30 below wind chill. Only thing I needed for North Dakota is Ski Goggles.
