Hi, I am trying to figure out how to solve an imminent problem and would love suggestions. My wife and I have two ex-feral cats that are VERY timid and skiddish around people. Two years ago we moved to Seattle from NY and took a 5 hour flight where they stayed in carry-on bags by our feet. Going through security with all the new 911 precautions was a mess. Anyway, we will be moving back to NY in August and plan to be back and forth to Seattle at least twice a year. In January we plan to be here 2 weeks to a month and in May we intend to be here for 3 months. We are trying to figure out a way to minimize the trauma to the cats and still keep them with us. I have even thought of buying a small RV, but I am not even confident that they would acclimate to driving in it. Trains don't seem to allow cats. I suppose 5 hours of terror (in an airplane) might be better than 7 days of unhappiness but I am not sure. I appreciate anything you might be able to suggest.

I drove from Long Beach WA up to Seattle then across to Michigan and up into Canada back down into Vermont and then finally arrived in Maine with my cat and dog. The cat didn't seem to mind riding at all.
And she wasn't exposed to people, which made it easier for her I think.
