We travel twice a year with our cat and two dogs .. a 26 hour trip to Canada from TV. In the past, we've tried a cat carrier which she hates. Also we've tried sedating the cat, which worked OK, but now she doesn't need it at all. She never liked being confined in the cat carrier. She prefers to be free. Now we put a harness on her and attach the leash so she can't jump out of the car when we stop. Of course we provide her with water and a litter box.

She loves the freedom and lies down with the dogs and sleeps the trip away. But please don't forget, when travelling with animals .... ALWAYS fasten an ID tag to the harness or collar with your cell phone number and your vet's number.
