I agree with not shipping pets. Its inhumane and not safe. Cats adjust very well and if you let them get used to the carriers and the car travel with a few short trips they will settle down quickly on the long trip. Food and water and a litter box in the motel will keep them happy and the sound of your voices talking to them gently if they begin to cry will also help. I travelled for a number of years between NYC and SC with my cat and she withstood the trip beautifully, she stopped travelling when she was 15 when I stopped going back and forth, and she lived to the ripe old age of 18.
