Whee! Another lurker Welcome Christa

I used a disposable litter box in the back seat for my tortie Spook, when she rode back to Iowa with me once. She handled the 14 hour trip well and had no problems adjusting to using her litter box in the moving vehicle (once she got her "sea legs" under her -- or would that be car legs -- and felt okay to move around) If she normally travels well in the car for short trips (like to the vet), I'm sure Josie won't have any problems handling the longer ride.

When you get to your new place and finally let Josie out to explore, keep a good eye on her for a bit until she's adjusted. Kitties can hide in the smallest places. When we moved into the house, Bimpy squeezed herself into the very narrow space behind the washer and hid there, crying, for several hours before I was able to get her out. She was the only one of my 4 pack who had problems with the move. Da Kitties did have some minor issues with the cathedral ceiling in the living room though. Apparently the large empty room with very very high ceilings felt a bit too much like being outdoors to kitties used to the indoors. It took about a week before they quit slinking around next to the walls and actually started walking through the middle of the room when going from one part of the house to the other.
