I have big news!

I'm roughly 4 hours from Oak Park, IL

I know some people that moved from Naperville to Michigan, but that doesn't help you.

Another friend lives in Oswego, which is south/west of Naperville I think.

Best of luck in your move!!

Oh Efrat, that is so exciting! Good luck with your move!

Yes, I also think it's okay for the cats to stay in two rooms, at least for a while. The entire moving thing will be so overwhelming for them and they will probably take some time to adjust...

Good luck with everything!

How exciting!!! For some reason I was wondering if this was why you were asking about flying with all four kitties, but only two people.

Welcome to the US! I think it would be best to keep the cats confined to the two rooms until you find a place of your own. Sounds like you will be with family, and there might be some conflict there, even if they don't express it. And the cats might not be as confused either. Then once you get them to your new place you can let them adjust to their new world.

Unfortunately Naperville further West of me, and too far to go for a vet for me, so I'm not familiar with any of them out that way. But I can ask my vet if he recommends anyone and let you know. I know my vet uses an emergency vet that is a little further West than we are also, so maybe there are some Naperville vets that use the same emergency vet or something.

I'm so excited you're moving here! Can't wait to meet you and Ilan at the next cat show!

Thanks for everyone's comments and ideas,
Tubby & Peanut's Mom- Thanks for asking around for vets, that would be great to find one that I have recommenditions for...

K & L - Thanks for all the links !

I'd of course tell you all about the trip and how it went when we finally do it... In the meantime the plan is that Ilan's father and brother will fly here before we leave and then we can travel back together - 4 people with 4 cats in cabin! Hope that will happen...

I'd love to meet all chicago-land people in the nearest cats show after we move, it'll be fun!
