P.H.
We just got back from a trip to Georgia last week. We took my cat on a 12 hour long car trip. We did the trip in one day! Sounds crazy, but a 2 yr. old, 3yr old and a cat in a hotel room...I think not. ha! I went to the vet before our trip and got my cat some sedatives. I think the vets are used to prescribing them frequently for pet travel. My cat took only half of the pill and she was amazing - no meowing at all (belief me she has in the past). We stopped at a rest stop and let her out while strapped to a cat harness - you can pick one up at the pet store. I also bought a disposable litter pan, which she never used. We packed her food, of course, but she never wanted to eat. We just let her hang out in her soft carrier where she felt safe. It was all very easy. Hope this helps!
