Just as you don't go on vacation anywhere and in any way with a baby, neither do you choose just any type of vacation. vacation with a cat.

Indeed, when you have a cat, you forget the tourist circuits which require you to be 100% itinerant and to change accommodation every night, you also forget all-inclusive trips or stays in Thalassotherapy centers ...

Holidays with your cat while camping?

A camping holiday in France with your cat could be perfect as long as your cat is calm and doesn't run away all the time. Indeed, at the campsite, it is likely that he will run away and get lost… See my article: How to find a lost cat.

If you think your cat will tolerate being locked in the mobile home or being tied up outside, camping with a cat may be an option. However, you must check that the campsite accepts cats, under what conditions and above all that it is well equipped to accommodate animals.

The main disadvantage of camping with a cat is the promiscuity that there can be with other animals. It can quickly turn into hell if, for example, you and your cat are right next to a place where there is a dog ...

Hotel with cat?

The hotel is a possible mode of vacation with a cat. However, you should choose a cat-friendly hotel with a spacious room for a short stay. In fact, when you spend a holiday at a hotel, you only stay in the room at night to go to bed. Your cat will therefore be alone even at mealtimes. If he's used to being alone, no problem, otherwise he may get bored and attack the curtains, the carpet, the cushions ...

Vacation rental with her cat ?

Better than camping, I think the vacation location in a cottage, apartment or villa remains a better compromise to be able to live your holidays with your cat just like at home. Thus, you can live your vacation while enjoying your cat and you can lock your cat in the fridge and go with peace of mind to the beach, to the restaurant or to play a game of tennis.
