Cat on long drive

What I always did was to keep a litter pan (actually a small throw away baking
pan), water and food outside of the carrier. I made frequent stops and while
stopped put the water, food and litter pan in the carrier. I would then cover
the carrier and with the windows rolled down a bit would leave the cat alone
in the car for 10-15 minutes. Now I leave the cats at home when I travel.
It's easier on them and me! :-)

That's the way nature made things, Doug. Better yet, put a litter box
in her transport cage and just drive straight on thru. No hassles.
Why is it that grown men like you are suddenly sooo friggin' sensitive
about this kind of thing, anyway...? You're a pussy-whipped, feminized
little lily-livered coward girlie-man, that's what you are. Aren't
you...

can always count on you for a toid

Actually, "Doug" is really a woman posing as a man for what reason, I
don't know.

Do a search on "Connie Sunday" or Boxwood Studios or Techfiddle
or...well, she has at least 20 alias she uses to post with.

If you read some of her other posts, it appears she is relocating to
Canada and wants to renounce her US Citizenship.

Wonder what her cat thinks of this? ;-)

This might be okay for a day or so, but I would hesitate to go on a
LONG trip, say, eight days; I am afraid it would hurt her.

I mentioned this to a friend, and she said to ask a vet. But does
anyone have any way of handeling this? I put the cat box with the
litter in it, on the floor of the vehicle, but still, she won't use it
when I sit her on it.

She's a relatively young cat (seven years) and small to medium, in good
health.

Thanks in advance..

Hahh..! Can IBen pick 'em or what...?! I knew there was sympathic
feministic stank in there. It was obvious to me from the start that
this 'doug' was either a woman or a sissified guy. Couldn't have been
a queer though, because they act about 10 times more feminine than any
women I ever met. Further proof of my keen sense of smell.
As for her kat, I imagine it will be just as happy living in a
socialist country as it digs being here. Just as long as that food
keeps-a-coming. The same holds true for Mzzz. Connie, I'm quite sure...

How would you know that I'm a toid, since you're a ****ing turd ? You
can't possibly smell beyond your own stink.
