My roommate's cat Chloe cannot ride in cars. And this is a BIG problem since we're in college and she has to live at my roommates house 2 hours away for summer, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and ANY time we're not at the apartment. And she HAS to live at the apartment at all other times since my roommates parents don't want cats. But EVERY time that cat rides in my car it's only about 15 minutes before she starts puking. It's happened on 3 separate occasions now, and she pukes until there's nothing left and THEN she poops. She does okay in a big van, but I only have my little 2-door Hyundai Accent, I can't borrow the van every time we move her. Any ideas on how to make poor little Chloe not feel so sick? It's so sad to hear her meowing saying, "mommy, auntie Laura, I don't feel good!!!" And then we have to say, "Chloe honey, kee kee, it's only 2 more hours!!!" Thanks!

Don't feed her right before you leave. Also talk to the vet they might be able to give you some anti nausea pills.

Asking your vet if there is some sort of motion-sickness med for cats is a good idea. Also you might want to post on the ask the Holistic vet board and see if there is anything that can be given to a cat. I do know some common spices and herbs that work for humans, but I wouldn't recommend them for a cat without a vet's approval.
