transporting cats in luggage containers on the tops of cars. It that legal?
hello asked:
We are running out of room and are thinking about putting our cat gangsta in the luggage compartment on the top of the roof for our trip. About 12 hours.

I’m going to drill holes for air and will feed him every few hours. He loves to sleep and will probally just sleep the whole time.
If you can help thanks or have done this before.
Do you think you can sleep well if you were on the hood of a traveling car?
i don’t think that’s a great idea - probably verging on animal cruelty
put your luggage on the top and the cat inside with you
You should make room for him in the car. He won’t take up much space.
I am not sure but it seems like it would suffocate him. Can you imagine trying to breath with air blowing in your face at 70miles an hour. If you put the holes on the side, there may be no crosswind and it would also get very hot in the luggage compartment. That is just not right. I think you need another plan.
Is this before or after you neuter him yourself??? Get a life you troll.
I think this is illegal, as well as cruel. Imagine if you get into an accident, and Gangsta goes flying about the cage, or comes off of the roof…
If it isn’t illegal it should be. The cat needs to be inside the car for such an extensive trip. For heavens sake, don’t even consider this. At least you aren’t thinking about having him follow the car on a leash!
You can always tie other inanimate things to the top of the car.
Are you serious? That is inhumane. If you get caught doing that you will get animal cruelty and endangerment charges. Why do you even have a cat if you can’t find space for it in your car?
Do you just have no life that you need to spend time asking dumb questions like this and the previous one about neutering your cat yourself. Please get a life.
Hey, that’s not nice… don’t do it! Would you put a child up there?
How about the effect of the sun and the wind and all the motion (there’s nothing to cushion the movement, remember) and possible FUMES that you won’t be exposed to because of the car’s doors, windshields, windows, etc.? You’ll be inside the car… how will you KNOW what suffering or discomfort your cat will be experiencing?
Oh, c’mon, have a bit of common sense! Man… don’t do that if you have any kind of feelings! That is cruel and inhumane! You only THINK he’ll sleep the whole time… his little heart could well be racing for a prolonged period of time and you just might have a very sick kitty, or a dead one!
Would you want to travel this way? It is inhumane…if you don’t have room in the car, put something else in that area and put the cat in a carrier in the vehicle!!!! This will cause great distress for your cat, and has the high potential to make him sick! Not only that, but there are many things (rocks, bugs, etc) in the air that can get in those holes and hurt him. Between this post and your post about neutering him yourself…you have no clue! You obviously care nothing for this cat. Do both of you a favor and surrender him!
Can we strap you to the hood?
DEAR GOODNESS AND EVERYTHING YOU FIND HOLY, PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!
Cats are very sensative to enviromentle changes, and can become depressed and (at very old ages) even die when moved. I give the cat roughly a 20% survival rate if left on the top of the car. This would be a form of animal abuse. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t do that.
Oh, PLEASE tell me that you’re kidding. You can’t honestly be THAT stupid, can you?
not sure if it is legal, but not a good idea - wouldn’t be safe for the cat
Deffinently don’t put him up there! Put something that will be inside the car and switch it places with the cat. I don’t belive it’s illegal, but the cat may get frightened and jump around in the box and knock it loose, then it will fall and you’d have to get a new cat!
Its an awful idea..
Tie yourself to the top of the car and the cat can have your seat in the car. That should solve your problem
no…try a cat carrier INSIDE the car!!!
Are you serious? Yes to what the others have said, don’t do it! Luggage racks are for luggage, not cats.
if it’s not illegal……it should be.
You have got to be kidding.
why don’t you give up your seat in the car and YOU travel in the luggage container? Are you sick in the head or something? Would you do that to your child? This may be an animal we are talking about but that is unbelievably stupid and cruel, you do not deserve to own pets if you can even consider that as an option. I hope someone reports you and they re-home your cat with someone responsible.
this person is a troll. Doesn’t anyone ever check their previous questions or are you all morons as well?
im just curious ppl , do u think this person is old enough to have a pet,even my kids wouldn’t do this put him in a luggage rack or neuter the poor thing…..sorry i have to agree a troll lmao,I have a feeling your goin to be voted as most hateful cat owner on yahoo,lol
