The Best Cat Travel Accessories

Komfort Pets Climate Controlled Pet Carrier in Silver (Small; 19" L X 13" W X 16" H; Silver; Climate Controlled; Plastic)

As the weather heats up this summer, advice abounds on the internet about how to keep your cat cool. If you are traveling with your cat, it is particularly important to keep him cool and comfortable. The great thing about the Komfort Pets Climate Controlled Pet Carrier is that it adjusts for both hot and cold temperatures, keeping your cat comfortable throughout the seasons. It is equipped with cutting-edge technology which automatically warms or cools your cat as needed. There is a thermo-regulation system built right into the floor of the carrier which heats or cools the floor plate as needed. And, when cooling additional air blows through the carrier to help keep the ambient temperature controlled.The unique folding handle allows the carrier to be maximally portable because it spans the entire length of the carrier, and conveniently folds down for ease of use. The carrier is powered by using a 110-volt electrical outlet with a 12-volt DC converter or a 12-volt cigarette lighter outlet, included with purchase.

Merry Products Tropical Island Bamboo Dog & Cat Bed (18" L X 22.5" W X 11.5" H; Red)

I admit, it's not very practical for traveling, but I just love the Old World gentility of this bed. I imagine it ensconced in a sprawling, clapboard house with large double-doors that open out onto a sweeping a veranda shaded by palm fronds. If you were taking your cat on a fancy cruise around the world in a large state room, this is the bed you would want.

I love that it has a functional bottom drawer for storing pet toys and supplies. Apparently, it's made of environmentally friendly bamboo and wood.
