Hi All,
Many apologies if this topic has already been covered in other threads---please direct me to the appropriate space if so!
I just accepted a new position at a university located approximately 6 hours away from my house. I will be making the commute each week with my cats.
I know this sounds almost unrealistic, but it is actually less driving time than my current job. Given the specificity of my field, commuting is almost always a consideration. My fiancé travels Mon-Thurs/Fri, so I have to take the cats with me. Plus, I wouldn't be able to spend so much time without my pets!
I know that this is an extreme situation, but it is the best we can find right now. There are no possibilities for leaving them at home or for finding another position.
Given these factors, does anyone have advice on how to travel successfully with cats on a weekly basis? I've seen some for occasional travel, but I'm wondering about weekly travel for a semester or so each time.
One of mine is getting used to an outdoor harness, so I think he could use one of the seats designed for use with these.
Any thoughts would be appreciated...thanks for helping me and my kitties to enjoy this new adventure in our lives!
