Traveling with a cat.

[Edwina's Secretary]

We drove Eddie and Edwina from Chicago to SoCal. We had litter and water and food for them. They did not use any of them except at night in the hotel room.

Eddie preferred to stay in his cage when the vehcile was moving. Edwina sat in a seat or my lap.

I tried the sedatives but was so unhappy with the results I only did it once (with Edwina.)

There was some whining at first but they settled down rather quickly once they knew we weren't going to the vet.

Thanks for the tips. We are going to look today for a small litterbox for Tuna, I have a feeling that he will be like Eddie and Edwina and not use it at all. We also decided against the sedatives thinking that Tuna will not need them. I'll be sure to update after the move to let you know how he managed!

Alexa is moving to Austin, I'm staying here in Tucson for one year because of school. Then next summer I'll be packing up Tibby, Corkscrew and Pocky and heading out to Austin to join Alexa.

This is a good thread and at the right moment for us - we are moving next week with three cats through 5 countries. I was thinking that the cats will sing probably until first border and then will hopefully calm down.

Even Filou who is a big opera singer if it comes to driving to the vet settles down after some time. But of course I ahve no long haul experience.
Vio: I keep all my paws crossed.
