I have resurrected this old thread for the new person who asked for help on moving with cats.

We bought a soft sided zip up cage from Walmart..not expensive. We put the cats in there when we were out of the car and at the beginning. There was a whole lot of yelling going on at first but when we were on the road for awhile we let them out with their leash and harness dragging and soon they sought our laps. We had two extra laps other than the driver so that worked out. The driver doesn't need a lap kitty.

We had a litter box and we also took old damp and dry rags in case of their car sickness. We took this trip MANY times with them and one of them always threw up. They probably WON'T be hungry, but take their favorite food and offer it to them anyway. It will make YOU feel better.

It may be very noisy and they may calm down on your lap but they will SHED so wear something kitty colored so people don't give you double takes when you stop for food, etc.

The whole process is a little like child birth. Worth the prize at the end.

Welcome home!
