What's the best way to travel long distance with cats?

I just bought two new good size carriers. Any hints on the best way to travel with my little buggers? Should I make a small litter box to put in the cages? Or stop and put them in a litter box?What's the best way to travel long distance with cats?put small boxes in the cages, make sure they have plenty of water and a bit of food...not sure how far your traveling but if it is more than 8 hours I'd get a hotel room for exercise. Taking them out of the cages while on the road isn't a good idea. they might not like traveling and will run when you get them outWhat's the best way to travel long distance with cats?If you plan on stopping at motels on your trip, have a litter box ready to go in the room with you. Don't feed them the morning of the trip, only give them water. You can get pills from your Vet to prevent them being upset. Ask about 'Ace'. Most of the cat carriers I've had would not have room for a litter box. Chances are they wouldn't use it anyhow.



Be very careful opening their carrier doors, until you are safe inside and no way for them to escape. They'll be afraid and will run, if given a chance.

My grandla has an RV. Her cats just curl up under the seats and sleep while they travel.
