I have traveled with four cats (two at a time) and luckily they all have traveled well.

My two late cats used to travel between Falls Church, VA to Michigan. (I used to fly when I had one cat but started driving when I got a second cat.) They loved to sit in the back window of the car so everyone could admire them. One time, at a rest stop, three people waited by my car for me to ask what breed they were! They were beautiful Birmans!

I also traveled with the two cats I have now from Michigan to our condo in St. Augustine Beach. Since my 90 year old mother is a little paranoid that they are going to get out, we travel with a 30" cage (for both of them) in our van. I have a small litter box in the car and get out food and water when we stop. Much to my mother's dismay, I also let them out of the cage!

We usually overnight at a LaQuinta or a Comfort Suites. Some Comfort Suites have a pet fee.

Unfortunately, we rent out our TV home so we have to rent a home when we are in TV. Since most rentals don't allow cats, we only get to TV for two weeks at a time and I leave the cats in the care of a long time friend. I can't wait until I can take them to TV. They are going to love our lanai!
