Okay, my son got a job 750 miles away and we will be bringing him his furniture and cat. I've never traveled with a cat before. I've always owned dogs. I've borrowed a pet carrier but that's too small for it to be over night in a motel room, etc. I do have a good sized dog cage that I can take along but it will have to be in the trailer because it won't fit in the vehicle we're driving. Do I put the litter box in the cage and put the cat inside when we stop? I'm at a loss..... and this cat doesn't really know me at all. My sister-in-law was keeping the cat for my son until we could take it to him. I really want to get the cat and my son back together so I'm going to do this but any suggestions would certainly be helpful. You all always give me good advice when I'm asking about a quilt...... so I figure some cat lover/quilter will help me out with this problem.
