My wife and I are moving from one end of the country to the other. We are shipping one of our cars but I have to drive the other. My wife is flying. Also, at the time of our move my wife will be 7 months pregnant. We have two cats, sometimes they love each other sometimes they try to kill each other. Also, both of them are BIG cry babies. Because of airline size restrictions my wife can only take one of them on the plane. Thus, I need to take the other one in the car. Unless anyone has any other suggestions? Also, any ideas on how to help our little cry babies relax on the plane and in the car?

Thanks

Be prepared for anything regarding the flying cat. Unfortunately if ANYONE on the plane objects to him flying in the cabin, the cat will be grounded or put into the baggage compartment.

Good luck and have a safe trip!

Smile, it will make them wonder what you are up to!

I drove from Long Beach WA state to Maine with a cat and a dog. I would get a large dog crate to crate your cat or cats in. Put a little box in there. I would only feed or water them when you stop so it doesn't spill.
Make sure you have a harness with ID tags, emergency phone numbers. I kept a leash on Crash (the cat) just in case she escaped. She did wonderful. The first night I did lose her in the hotel. After that I made her sleep in the car. It wasn't cold out yet.
Good luck with the move.

Oh one more thing. When you do drive them. Make sure to bring extra blankets incase the kitty gets sick that first day. Crash got used to hte moving car but did get sick the first day.
