Chloe meows the entire time she is in the car. It doesn't matter where we are going. She has done this since the first time we brought her home from the shelter. We really haven't found a solution for this, although she does calm down a little when she can see into one of the other cat carriers. Sorry I can't be more help, but I just wanted to let you know that you aren't the only one with a noisy traveler. (It could be worse. If we're going any distance at all, Saphirah throws up in her carrier. I think the noise is preferable. )
