Hi all,
I'm moving! The trip will be about 12 hours total (split into two days of driving). A friend of mine uses this on car trips and likes it:
I went ahead and bought one. I'm planning on putting both of my cats in it, because they get along well. My older cat is very anxious, and having my younger cat around usually helps her stay brave.
But after reading some posts on here, I found some members saying that you should keep the cats separate on a road trip. Because if they're together, they might become aggressive toward each other out of anxiety. Now I'm not so sure about what I should do. I guess if it turns out that they don't want to be car buddies, I could put them into separate carriers? But other than this carrier, all I have are two of these smaller carriers:
I don't really like using them, because my cats associate them with the vet. But I'll be bringing the carriers along, anyway, in case the big carrier isn't sufficient for transporting them to and from the car.
So I don't know, should I just plan to keep the cats in these two separate, smaller carriers? Or could the one big carrier work just fine?
Also, do you have any other tips for moving across the country with cats? I'd prefer not to drug them, because I won't have a chance to test any drugs on them before we leave.
