Cat owners are often advised against attempting to travel with their little felines, as this could cause stress for these animals. However, some cats adapt perfectly to new environments, and can therefore travel and follow their humans as they travel. To know if a cat adapts easily to new situations or not, you have to look at whether it is generally relaxed and confident. Here are 5 breeds of cats likely to love traveling.
