My cat and I have traveled a lot by bike (short overnights) and car (cross-country); he hangs out on a leash at campgrounds and walks on a leash to go exploring. He loves down sleeping bags and tents. He does well enough in the carrier on the bike, but I was looking for ways to make him more comfortable with the inevitable bumps and such and whether anyone may have traveled like this with a cat. If no one has, maybe that's my answer. I may check the touring sub forum as suggested.
It seems like a good trailer might be smoother than the bike itself, but I don't really know. You could probably suspend the carrier from the trailer frame with springs, but you would have to deal with the swaying.

Did you say something about backpacking? I can't imagine how you'll manage that....
