I will be moving to Oregon next week from Iowa, and I'm bringing my 2
cats with me. I am planning to drive as much as I can before stopping
for the night (12-14 hours). I'm worried about how the cats will fare
for such a long trip. [snip]


I've taken cats on long drives (moving) and had no problems
other than they tend to cry a lot. Mine would eat a little but
not as much as usual and hence didn't need the litter as
often. I'm not sure stopping frequently is the best idea
since it might tend to suggest to them that you've arrived
at your destination.

Maybe take some extra towels along in the car and if
either cat has an accident in their carrier, you can replace
the towel with a clean one. When you stop (for food &
restroom), should be sufficient to let them have access
to the litter box, as well as some food & water.

Good luck!
