The trip went very well....no problems. We did not want to have them uncaged for the trip because we were concerned about their safety when we made pit stops. Once we arrived in our new home, all was well, everyone ran around and checked things out. Good luck with your trip.
When our friends moved from CA to NC, they had two cats and a large dog that suffered from car sickness, as well as two autos to move. My friend drove with the dog as her passenger and her husband took the cats. Those cats also "sang" most of the way cross country and each day decided that they should "poop" in the litterbox about a half hour after they hit the road. Poor Ron, he'd have to sniff that mess till they could stop.

Cats can be pretty quiet most of the time, but get them into a car and suddenly, they're opera singers!

Glad you all survived!....
