If you need to go somewhere and bring your cat or a cat, of course, it's best to travel by private car. You can at any time to stop, explore yourself and allow the animal to move, of course, on leash and in a harness. Another fairly easy way to travel with your cat is to go by train, but in this case not to do without a specially collected set of documents. What needs to enter into it?

1. The most important document of your animal is his pet passport, which is stamped on all necessary vaccinations. If, for example, your journey takes place on the territory of Russia, will be sufficient for the marks that the animal delivered a comprehensive vaccination and inoculation against rabies. However, for the importation of cats in some regions should be produced in advance of chipping, in which under the skin of the animal is implanted a special microchip with a unique 15-digit identification number. In turn, a note about the chipping must be recorded in the veterinary passport of the animal.
2. For the carriage of a purebred animal you need taken in advance in your feline club a certificate stating that the cat or cats are valuable representative of the breed, the export of which is fraught with any risks to the organization.
   
   Regardless, your cat is a purebred or not, you must be the so-called "reference No. 1" - special testimony to give which are entitled only to the state veterinary clinic. This document is issued on the same day in the clinic and is only valid for three days from the date of issue, so a visit to the vet is best applied the day before the departure date. Help be sure to specify the city of departure, arrival and transit settlements. If you go to another city only for a while, before leaving for the return journey will receive a certificate in the same form in the veterinary clinic of the city from which you depart.
3. Finally, the direct travel document for the cat is a baggage receipt, which is stamped "Luggage at hand". To her, the owner of the animal may at the baggage counter, presenting my ticket and a veterinary certificate for a cat. If you get on the train at the little station, to issue a baggage check may be the conductor of your car or the head of the train.
