[MSNPA]

We did not have the distance you will have. Our trip was a little over 900 miles. We drove straight through with two cats; each one in a carrier. Prior to the trip I received sedatives for my cats, however only used one half a pill on each cat. I had the bottom of their cages covered with "pee pads", however only had to change once for one cat. The trip went better than we ever expected. We had more problems upon arrival. My cats would not come out from under the bed except to eat and use the litter boxes. Fortunately after a few months they adapted are now very happy.
