Thanks for the response Tracey!
He did good on the trip. He'd meow his head off for a minute and then zonk out for a while. Off and on like that the whole way up and back. But after we picked up the other animals on the way home he was out cold until we got home. Paizly was the one meowing constantly (not as loud) then.
Yes, we sort of started out all over again. But she is doing good. She hisses at him a lot and sometimes when they play she really gets hissy and growly. Sometimes she sounds like she's going to hurt him, but I know she's not. And we still don't leave them together when we aren't home. So it's all good.
I'm still patiently waiting for my cuddling kitties. HA HA!!
