We are nearing the time to relocate with our 2 adult housecats (12 y,o. Striker and 11 y.o. Sassy).
Travel time in the car is ~4 hrs.
When we moved 4 years ago, Striker adapted nearly immediately, but Sassy had some significant struggles. As we prepare for this time, our destination will have plenty of space and we are setting up litter boxes prior to our final arrival so they are in place, no waiting, once the cats arrive.
My question is: Should we separate/isolate the cats (each with their own box) while we perform the load in, etc., or are they likely to be OK together in the same room with a couple of boxes?
Thanks.
