Doodle. I hope you know that I was kidding. I almost always am.

However, we not only have to think of the cats comfort, but assuredly need to think of the people around us. We love them but others don't have an emotional attachment to our cats or grandkids. I would hate for my kids or my cats to cause other people stress, and kitties do cry out when they are frightened.

We have travelled back and forth to Ohio in the car many times now with our two kitties; Mikey, Harry and Hershey, and sometimes it was better than others. I doubt if the kitties know the difference between flying and zooming down the highway for 15 hours and sometimes they are very vocal about their fear, annoyance, displacement. Sometimes they are sick at their stomachs and sometimes they cannot control their bowels. They assuredly are experiencing great discomfort and will shed their coats too. It is better when they can be let out of their cages and can walk around in our van. Not possible in an airplane. I cannot think of anything worse than hearing them yell and smell them soil their cage while I am thinking about how bad they feel and how upset and annoyed the people around us would be.

We have never had them sedated. I am afraid of over sedating them.
Getting them where they are going is not an easy thing is all I am saying.
