What about feeding and litter during, say, a two or three day driving trip? .............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. ..............one other thing. I was moving from IN to FL so I called motels ahead of time around the area I thought I'd be stopping to see if they'd allow cats in the room. The answer was yes. I did not make a reservation as this was one of those motels right off the highway. When I pulled in I reminded them that I had called about cats being in the room. Receptionist asked how many cats, answer was 6 then she said NO, too many cats! I was exhausted, it was dusk and the next place I stopped I told them I had 2 cats and they let me stay. Mostly the cats got out of the carrier and hid under the covers for a while before eating and doing their business. buglady take out the dog before replying |
