We gave our cat a half of a tranquilizer and were sorry we did. He was out of it for the first day stumbling around and I felt sorry for him. The second day we just had his pet carrier in the back seat (no tranquilizer). We faced it forward so he could see out with the door open and he could see me. I would pet him sometimes. He stayed in it the whole time and didn't cry at all. So long as he could see us and see out he was fine. We had a small litter box on the floor of the car which he never used until we got to the hotel that night. We let him roam the hotel room at night. We put just a small amount of food in the feeder with a small amount of water. If you have a pet crate that would even be better as long as he has air flow and can see you while you ride in the car. Those are my suggestions based on our trip. All cats are different. Ours was pretty wound up when we left and it took him about an hour to calm down. We only gave him half of a tranquilizer that the vet gave us and it was too much.
