traveled with 5 cats
I came down from CT with 5 cats, 3 of which were senior. I recommend no tranquilizers. One of the cats had an accident because of it. This is what my vet recommended and it worked great. Keep them all in carriers. No food or water in the morning. If they don't eat or drink, they don't need a litterbox. She said they are not like dogs who have to go throughout the day and they didn't need to. We traveled 12-14 hours at a time. We did stop at night and stayed at a pet friendly hotel. I had disposable litter boxes and filled them only slightly, gave them food and water until the morning and let them out in the room during the night. In the am I put them back in their carriers, threw out the boxes, packed up food and we were ready to go. They cried for the first couple hours and then went to sleep. Whatever you do, just do not have them loose in the car or hotel room when you open the door. In the hotel, shut them in the bathroom if you need to open the door. They are tricky. Good luck
