"Rhonda" wrote in message ... Hi Brigitte, We moved from Indiana to Seattle with 2 cats and 1 rabbit. It was four 10-hour days of driving. We were bad, we let the cats out of the kennels. I know it is safer to keep them in and to strap the kennels with the seat belt in case of an accident, but it was such a long drive. The cats did not eat or drink while in motion, although they did catch up at night in the hotel. I think one cat used the litter box once on the road, but the other was so scared she just peed where she lay (tucked up in a sweatshirt.) It was tough, but we all made it. We had collars and name tags on every one of them. We didn't have a cell phone so we put my parents' number on it and told them not to hang up if someone said they had "their" cat! Don't let the cats out of the car except at the hotel -- even if they are on a leash. They can easily freak and run. You might put up baby sun screens on the side windows where needed. Plan ahead for hotel chains that take animals. I haven't checked for awhile, but LaQuintas used to take them. Good luck!

In March, I'll be moving from Nebraska to northern California with a pug, a chow chow and 2 cats. Fortunately I have a minivan, but not quite sure the best way to move all these critters. My thought is to use the large dog crate that I usually use for the chow chow, for the cats. Put them in there with a small litter box, with water and food of course, and let the dogs roam freely in the van. Anyone out there have any other ideas? Thanks, Brigitte Hi Rhonda, Thanks for the good ideas. I'll keep them in mind when we're ready to make our trip. Brigitte |

There is hope if you contact a therapist. *Sob!* You know me so well! |
