Default Cat travel

We moved to the villages in February with 2 -17 year old cat brothers. The vet said that we should not use tranquilizers.. I purchased a pet playpen on ebay and a cat carrier. The playpen was 48 inches around. We placed it in the back of my Kia along with the cat carrier at one opening. It just fit. We put a litter box and food in the playpen. The trip went without a single meow. They stayed in the cat carrier for the most part the whole trip (11 hours). When we stopped they would come forward for the usual petting. On the road, back in the carrier. We were amazed at how well this worked. The playpen is now on our lanai and "The Boys" will sleep in there during warm days.
