[Bonanza]

We have done a fair amount of moving with kitties and our last move was 2,500 miles. In the car, we never let them out of their cat carrier for safety reasons -- theirs and ours.

We never tranqualize them -- ever!

We use bedpads (actually, the chair size which we cut in half) in the bottom of each carrier in the event they do one of the three Ps -- poop, pee or puke. We also have disinfectant wipes to clean up any residual mess and plastic bags for trash.

When we stop overnight, we take their food and litter box into the motel and bring a dustpan and brush to clean up any litter on the floor.

I must say that although they don't like the ordeal, they seem to do bettr than my husband and I.

Oh, yes . . . We also take a spritz bottle which we fill with water in case they hide under the bed and we can't get them out!

Have a safe trip!
