We are moving across the country, from the West Coast quite literally to the East Coast of Canada.
My wife will be taking the two cats with her, as I will be driving across the country with our things. She will be flying with the cats, and they will both be in the same carrier, that is of adquate size for the both of them. (they both get along great). One (Malcolm) is fine on any travel that we do, will sit in the cage (on short trips they each have a carry on cage, but smaller ones). The other one (Bailey), is a meower (we beleive she is part siamese ANYWAYS REGARDLESS), she is fine in her cage, but meows and wants out. (Although she enjoys sleeping in her cage at nite.
Question is on tranquilizers? Pros? Cons? If anyone has any ACTUAL information, not the "it is bad" would be greatly appreciated. We havent talked to our vet yet so we dont' know which route we are going to go down yet. Also our local pet store has some 'natural' stuff to make kitten drowsy.
This will be a 8 hour flight, and the kittens will not be flying in the cabin with my wife. (they are 8 and 9 months old respectively).
Any help greatly appreciated!
