They are very disoriented by the movement and can even get sick to their stomachs. Cats do not like change so riding in a car is not the highlight of their lives. Kitty will likely make a dive for an enclosed place which would be under the seat or near the foot pedals. Not very safe. The rare cat can be left to free roam on a car ride. However, if you do have one of these fuzzballs be sure to block areas like the drivers foot pedals so they cannot interfere with the actual driving. Larger metal crates used mostly by dogs are the best way to give kitty some freedom and have all her essentials nearby.
