What do you do when you find the perfect kitten in a ditch right before you embark on a months-long journey through North and South America in a Sprinter van? Bring him along, of course!

In this chat with fellow pet professional Kayla Fratt, we talk about the recent addition to her "van-hold" - Norbert.

What you'll hear in this episode:

  • why Norbert's temperament (and age) made him a perfect small-space travel buddy
  • how "green flag behaviors" influenced Kayla's decision to adopt Norbert
  • why Norbert's natural rhythm is messing with Kayla's sleep (and some troubleshooting we did together)
  • how you can tweak the introduction framework (but don't skip steps)
  • what to consider when harness training your cat

P.S. If you want to catch up on my first chat with Kayla before you listen to this "Part Deux" - listen to it here
