EDIT 2: Thank you so much for all the input. Hubby took her to the vet this am (in another state lol). Mimi did not have a blockage, but she did have a 104 fever (probably combo of stress and not peeing/pooping). Enema was given and she peed first, then went #2 in the clinic sink (🤣). Doc prescribed antibiotics for the infection and gabapentin for the next few days until hubby comes home/off the road. Not sure if she will stay on the road permanently (probably not) but it was worth the shot.
EDIT: He is taking her to the vet, and I might have to drive three hours to pick her up. She’s worth it tho, and I can’t help but to feel guilty if something really is wrong. I’m a wreck 😩
Hi all, first off, your cats are ADORABLE and I’m so happy that you have posted them on this thread!
My husband took one of our cats from home (Mimi, 4yo female) on the road with him recently. She has now been in the truck for over 36hrs and has not used the litter box in any capacity (#1 or #2). I can understand the no poop, but I feel like she would HAVE to pee by now.
Mimi has been snuggling with my hubby at night, making biscuits, and eating/drinking, but we don’t know what to do about the bathroom situation. We have purchased a brand new box, but used the same type of litter as home.
The hubby also says that he does not smell/see any evidence of her peeing around the truck.
Anyone that transitioned a home cat to a truck cat, did the same thing happen?? I want to make sure she’s comfortable on her first trip to Texas.
Thanks in advance!!
All wadded up
Yo just stumbled upon this sub, cool lookin cats out there!
I don’t drive a truck but I own a cat!
Just a question do you guys lock the truck when you duck into the store or something?
I feel like if it were me i would lock the truck even if I had to go a short distance away.
I don’t trust some people and there was a video on reddit of people stealing a store owners cat, which is really sad.
I would keep my cat locked in the truck and keep an eye on him haha
Stay safe out there!
Picture of my boy attached!
Hi al. Can you guys share tips for cleaning litter stains off the floor of the cab? I’ve tried numerous products but it just leaves white streaks.
Lazy bum arse cat lol
Not a trucker, but figured you all would appreciate this little hammock the most.

I being on a more excessive side, scoop out 2 to 3 times a day and completely dump, wash with soap and replace new litter every week or so. I am using the light weight clay litter even tho the package says good for 14 days I change it every 7 days or so.
Can you guys please send me some links or things to look up on Amazon so I can find a proper walking harness for Patches? The most cutesy pink/purple harnesses are welcome ❤️
Sojourner Truth. Malala. Pickle Biscuits.
If you’re looking for a basic cat, keep lookin because Pickle Biscuits ain’t it. This three-legged little powerhouse knows her worth and is looking for a lifelong travel companion.
Pickle Biscuits is approximately two years old and started life as an outdoor cat, going on daily adventures, looking out for herself, and making human friends along her route. When she suffered a gunshot wound earlier this year (people are the worst), a family she befriended in her travels saved her life. Although she lost one of her back legs due to the injury, Pickle Biscuits has adapted to life without it — in fact, she’s a skilled jumper who parkours with ease and keeps a tidy litter box.
As the name implies, Pickle Biscuits is an industrious biscuit-maker. Once you’ve established trust, she will work overtime showing her affection. She loves cardboard boxes, soft blankets, a tempting scratcher, being serenaded, and hate-watching squirrels out the window.
A gifted orator with a fiery spirit, Pickle Biscuits expresses herself with a range of adorable vocalizations. Once you become besties, expect Pickle Biscuits to chat you up all day.
Pickle Biscuits has had a hard life and makes sure she projects strength before she shows what a sweet little marshmallow she actually is, so it takes at least 2-4 weeks before she drops her guard in a new environment. Fast track bonding with some canned tuna — her absolute fave.
I started fostering Pickle Biscuits after her initial recovery from surgery and she’s a gem. I believe she’d love life on the road with a devoted human. I’m happy to answer any questions.
Pickle Biscuits is going up for adoption soon in central Florida. Priority will be placed on finding the right fit for her. She’s fixed, up to date on shots, and good with nail trimming.
If you are interested in being Pickle Biscuits’s ride-or-die, please dm me.
How do you guys with newer trucks keep your cats from accidentally locking you out of the truck? We have buttons on the top of the doors to unlock and lock them. My cat frequently likes to walk on top of the door and click the buttons with her feet, how do I keep this from happening?? I'm worried we may get locked out of the truck while it's running because of the cat 😂
I do not know if this is allowed so if not Mods please remove.
My moms cat Sophia was involved in an incident this weekend and she will need surgery to repair a few broken bones. At First we thought she had been hit by a car but now it seems like she was attacked based on her injuries. She is the sweetest cat you will ever meet and my moms companion for the last 6 years. We would greatly appreciate any donation or share.
