Cat moving...

FromTexas

This Space for Rent
Well, I am familiar with moving a cat short distances. I know how to make sure they get prepared and use to the environment before going outside, etc...

The one thing I haven't done is move the cat across the country on a three day trip. That is coming with my move there in June.

In the car he will be mostly stuck in a carrier. My concerns are as follows ---

1) Timing his litter. I can give him the opportunity but I doubt he will just say, "Great! I will go now and then climb back in the tiny carrier!" -- Yet, we can't spend hours stopped waiting for him to go. Any thoughts?

2) He won't handle this well. I can say that for sure. Can I just ask a vet for some sort of cat valium? Is there something for this?

Yup they make pet meds like that, just ask your vet about it. My girlfriend and her hubby just went to Texas from Maine w/ their 2 cats and they seemed to handle it pretty stress free without the meds. They just stopped from time to time and all worked out well in the end. :smile:
