There is NO WAY I could take my cat camping. He is too old, and too "fluffy" (aka fat to less sensitive people).
Even when he was young and able, I would be afraid that he would get out and never come back. They don't come when they are called like a dog does.
I also find that a lot of people choose camping to be able to bring their dog along! My cat wouldn't take kindly to all those dogs around. And you know what happens when a dog starts chasing a cat!
I mean the reason I have a cat is so that I can fill up the food and water dish and get away for a weekend without worrying about him! When I am ready to commit to taking a pet along, I will have to assume all the extra responsibility associated with owning a dog.
