How to make my cat comfortable after travel and help them adjust?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 10 months and 8 days old | 8.3 lbs

How do i make my cat more comfortable? We are on vacation for a week and today is the first day. We couldnt leave him at home because he is relatively young and we had nobody to take care of him. He is hiding under furniture and eating little. We put his litter box, bed, food and water bowls and carrier all in the same room and have closed it off. How long will it take for him to start walking around normally?

Cats are rarely impressed by travelling and it can cause much anxiety. Calming supplements or royal canin calm food can be very helpful, as can pheromone products. Familiar food, toys and bedding are helpful also
