Go West Young Ma...errr...Kitty, Go West!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Finally here are the pictures of our trip to Tucson. As I mentioned before, Terry drove the motorhome and towed the Jeep, while I followed in the Oldsmobile with P & CJ. I put their carriers in the back seat with the litterbox on the floor of the front passenger seat. I reclined the passenger seat all the way so they could come and go from front to back as they pleased. Worked pretty well. For the most part Peanut stayed in her carrier except to go peepee, but she did come out several times. CJ on the other hand, was all over the car, meowing up a storm and finally settling down in the afternoon. So, here are some pictures, in no particular order since Imagestation doesn't like to keep them in the order I upload them.

Peanut was in my lap first, and CJ insisted on joining her.
He's my brother and he sure IS heavy!


I loved poor little Peanut's expression in this one.


And CJ's in this one.


They ended up switching around several times and once ended up butt to head.
Oh the humility of it all!


Aaaaahhh....finally a seat all to myself!


Look out for that truck!! Meowmy, I think you better put the camera down, put the walkie talkie down, put the Sirrius remote down and just drive, ok?

Another configuration was Peanut on top of CJ!


Stop, Meowmy, I have to go potty!!!


If he's going to be such a lap hog, I guess I'll just have to hang out in HIS carrier! (CJ didn't want to be in his carrier, but he got extremely upset when Peanut was in it, even crawling into it once while she was still in it!)


From my point of view.


When we got there, CJ crawled under the covers as usual and Peanut jumped up and purposely laid right next to him!


I'm just getting comfy here, so don't even THINK about moving this thing again!


I think this is the link to the whole album. http://www.imagestation.com/album/pi...?id=2100084395

Hope you enjoy!

What lovely pictures! Looks like CJ, Peanut and meowmie had quite an adventure. I can not believe they laid all over each other like that. I take it Peanut loves her brother? Or is it more like tolerate him while meowmie is around?

Edited to add: I just wanna SMOOTCH this face

Great photos, and thank you for providing the link to the full album!

I am confused, though. Your log on says you live in Chicago, your first album photo says you live in the Dakotas, and the photos are from Tuscon? Do you know where you are or does it depend which day it is? Don't tell me you took 2 cats on a vacation trip to Tuscon?! O MY GOSH!

I agree, put down the camera, walkie talkie and Sirrius and get serious about driving! I don't know how you managed to take so many pictures of them in the car!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Oh - WOW!!!!

The Trip West in-car photos are pretty neat ...
But the Scenic Views in the Album are just FAN-TAB-U-LUSS!!!

Prolly going to be hard to *drag* you guys back east, huh?

You Guys and Miz Glacier can trade Scenic Shots and vie for the Picture of the Day honors.

Welcome to the "Promised Land"!

I got to tell you, that one of CJ at the window looking out with his mouth open and your caption made me totally bust out laughing. That was GOOD!
Peanut looks not at all impressed with traveling in a car, CJ looks like a old hand at it and it is just to sweet that they both wanted in Mommies lap. Those are some great photo's. I agree with CJ, keep you eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel...

Stop, Meowmy, I have to go potty!!!

Is that NM or AZ, Debbie? (Or did you guys even travel through NM?)

LOVE the pictures you shared here! CJ and Peanut look like (fairly) happy travelers. You know, you ought to see if there's a "most traveled cat(s)" section in that world-records book. I'll bet CJ & Peanut would rank right up there! lol

[krazyaboutkatz]

Great pictures. I love CJ's expressions and Peanut is so sweet to put up with her heavy brother. They sure look very relaxed for traveling cats.

[Sonia59]

Oh Wow! These great pics are making my day! My kitties are good travellers, but yours...Wow again! It is a pleasure to see such beautiful babies on your lap while you are driving. And you've made your car very comfortable! It's a traveling palace! Only crazy cat people can do this

I am always afraid that my cats go on my feet when I drive, so if I am alone, they stay in the carrier. Otherwise Peppito loves going outside his carrier and when we don't open, he shouts very loudly to remind us he is here !

[CultureJunky]

I cannot say how cool that is to be able to travel with your cats! My dream, and I hope to do it one day too, I hope you have such a wonderful adventure

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

great pictures!!

Looks like the kitties feel right at home on the road!!

I just love Peanut... she looks so sweet in the pictures... and CJ made me laugh.. in the picture of him meowing at the window!!

now off to look at the whole album!

[catlover4ever]

Great pictures...I felt like I was right there with you.

I do have to ask....where are you living now....Arizona or South Dakota??? I'm confused

I took pictures last year of our move from the old house to mymom's house and then into the new house and my digital camera acted up and I ended up with only 2 picture of the entire move...I was so bummed.

[catfamily]

What memories you bring back for me...of our drive from Chicago to SoCal!

The E's Travel

This is my favorite....
