I’ve been thinking about moving to a city about 10 hours drive away for a much better quality of life. But the guilt of knowing that my cat will have to endure the trauma of such a long road trip has made me think I shouldn’t move. I don’t want to be the cause of her suffering at all. The longest car trip she’s been on was one hour and she distress meowed the entire time.
The other concern I have is that I can’t drive and don’t know anyone else who can, so I’ve found a lady on Airtasker with lots of good reviews, who has been doing it for years. They will pick up and drop off on the same day. She has a van, but I think they take both dogs and cats (they all seem to here). Flying is not an option here. Also, she has never had any sedatives and the transport services and vet all say not to use them anyway. I can’t stop thinking what if she somehow escapes?!
I think it’s more me that needs the sedative Is she going to be ok if I choose to do this? Will she forget the ordeal quickly? Will she forgive me?
