Cats and Dogs abroad; no, this is not the usual "how do I get a pet passport" question

It is more as to how one socialises a cat to stay with your Motorhome when abroad. Would anyone reccomend a collar and harness?  Dogs are not the same problem but I wonder if any of you have done this

Well my cat has been on plenty of camping trips with us and lots of UKCS meets. When i open the side door hes into the camper and its hard to get him out. He will sit in the camper all day and only come out when hes sure we are not going away. He sits between the front seats when on the move and when the engine is turned off hes up at the window to see the sights. He has a lead and will walk local to the camper, but as yet hes not tried to go far or run off when the door is open. Not every cat is the same mind you. I hope that helps.

Earlier in the year we were on a site in Austria and out neighbour was a German couple and their cat. The cat seemed purrfectly happy on his long lead, although he did get tangled up now and then. It used to amuse us at night because he had a collar with flashing lights and that was all you could see of him!
