.............I'd say yes to separate carriers. Take them out of
carriers in motel room at night, set up litter box in bathroom and feed
as usual. Bring a little whisk broom and pan to clean up before you
leave. You can offer water and litter box during the day, but I bet
they won't be interested and it increases the chances of them getting
loose and lost if you open the carriers before they're safe in a room.
If there's a way you can put water in the carrier w/o it being spilled
all over during the ride, I'd do that. Cats can hold it forever. Ever
take a cat into the vet to stay overnight to get a urine sample? Good
luck with that! Alternatively you can get a big crate and put both of
them in with a litter box and water during the ride, but, take it from
me, that's hard to haul in and out of the car.


Thanks! Good advice.
