My husband and I have two cats. They get along, sleep together, and groom each other. In the next couple of weeks we will be moving 13 hours away. I plan to buy a large kennel so that we can put them both in it together, and I also plan to speak with their vet soon to see about any tranquilizer we may be able to give them during the move.
They have both been fairly good in a kennel, but we've only been able to test them on short trips to the vet. One of the two, since being spayed, has become more vocal when in the kennel in a car.
We have not moved cats on a long drive before.So I am wondering from anyone who has had this experience, what is the best approach? How do you keep the cats calm during the move (we plan to have them in the same car with us and stop once at a hotel)? Should we keep both cats together like we plan to or separate them? What's the healthiest way to move cats on a long drive?
Thanks for any advice! I understand that our cats may react differently than others... but I would still like to hear your comments.
