[quote=ajbrown;720723]We are sometimes on the road for 15 hours and our cats do use the litter box en route. Until they scratch it in there can be several moments of The Villages Florida


YUP!

We took them back and forth many times when we were snow birding. We got harnesses for them and attached leashes thinking if one somehow got out it would be easier to get them. Be sure that the harnesses fit close enough they can't slip out...Cats are excellent slipper outers. We got a big vinyl cage at Walmart (about thirty bucks and large enough for three cats, we have two) and put them in it when the trip began and they yelled like crazy. When we were on the road we let them out and they were allowed two laps, NOT the drivers. (There are three of us) They shed and they threw up and they pooped due to stress so take all necessary items for cleanups. We had a litter box in the van too and they used it. Food isn't important. It took us 14 hours straight through and we drove it straight through because of the cats.

They were calmer when they could roam the van, but we zipped them back in before we opened the car doors.

They are so pleased now we are permanent and we are too. Redwitch takes care of them in our home now when we leave for any extended length of time and she takes EXCELLENT care of them. She loves our two cats, Harry, Mikey and Hershey.
