It depends on how you elect to travel down here...Southwest allows you (for a large fee) to keep the cat with you in the cabin in a carry case that fits under the seat in front of you - this is a mess as the time it takes to fly (including time to get to the airport...go through security...have the cat manually searched in the private room...the actual flight and then time from the airport to TV) well a cat gotta do what a cat gotta do and you will need to deal with smells, feces, urine and one disgusted cat....have baby shampoo.

I moved Rada twice....the month I came down to purchase and then when I moved permanently....it is an experience neither of us wants to repeat.

I was told by the vet not to use any kind of trancs (though I could have used some for me). The bottom line is that if you are flying try to go quick - pay extra for a direct flight and just accept the mess that follows.

Now, if you are driving that is a different matter....a really large cat kennel with some litter and food and water will get you by...but, cats don't like forced confinement and every hour on the road is misery....drive like a banshee and try to make it without an overnight in a motel as the cat will be a mess and you might have to pay big time for the cleanup...plus, the cat will curse you for taking it down here in a box.

Once here...well Rada lives on the porch just to converse with the birds - she's very happy and has forgot the misery of moving. Enjoy!
