Soft here,

What we do is this. Go to walmart, go pass the throw away pans and get into
the plastics area, there is these boxes with lids, the smaller size is
called a shoe box, the next size up is called a sweater box. Get whichever
one is his size, then fill a large ziplock bag with litter. After each time
you stop, for your own needs or coffee or gas or food. Get all of your
things done, get back into vehicle, open box, pour in litter, let cat out of
carrier, show him box, let him play and look for signs of "{going andif he
goes great, if not after five to ten minutes, cuddle him, put back in
carrier and put lid on your porta potty and away you go. Remember, do his
potty stop last thing before you leave so you don't get excited and get out
of the car with him not in carrier. Good luck, this works with all six of
ours. Soft, sorry for rambling

Finally, a logistical problem. I'll be transporting Charlie around
Thanksgiving (assuming he's well) for a semi-extended trip. How do cats
handle litter needs when they are away from home? Specifically, I'm
wondering how he might handle elimination while in the carrier? Are
there litter box solutions that are built for inside carriers? My mom
can set him up with a sort of little personal litter box when he gets to
their house, but I'm wondering how he might handle himself en route.
Estimated travel time in the carrier, each way, is about 5.25 hours.

My thanks in advance to everybody who answers ... this new cat-daddy is
finding himself a l'il overwhelmed at times ...

Mike
