Please make sure your cat has current ID with your cell # attached to her harness. For the trip and for the week or two after you arrive. Cats have a way of escaping from new houses, they're tricky little critters.

We have so much to do but I know it will be so worth it. I am dreading the drive from Ca. with a screaming cat but then I think of the lifestyle we will driving to and I get so excited. I can't wait to see you all.

I'll be making a long trip from New Hampshire in January with my cat. She does not travel well at all. I've taken her on airplanes from Europe and Lebanon. She HOWLED (not cried, howled) for the WHOLE TRIP (8 or 9 hours) and that is with tranquilizers. She fights against their sleeping agent and wins. You think people stare at you with crying children, try a screaming, howling cat. Not looking foward to driving 3 days with her. Mom will be along to try to keep her calm. Still can't wait, so looking forward to it.

I can't believe we are here in TV now. The cat did great. He usually howls when we drive in the car but it was as if he was drugged. He was so good. He now has to adjust to being an indoor cat. The first thing we bought was a new cat tree for him. He is the only one that has furniture. The second purchase was a coffee pot. We found out yesterday that our furniture and stuff hasn't even left Ca. yet. Not happy about it but what can you do. Today was busy buying some furniture that will be delivered on Monday.

Hope to see you in Jan. I hope your cat will be as good as ours was.

Glad you made it. My cat has always been an indoor cat, so at least I don't have to worry about that. I'm trying to figure out how to handle the drive down with the delivery of my furniture also. Thinking I may rent a house for a week or so because I will have my 84 year old mother with me and don't thing she'll be very happy about "camping out" in the middle of the living room. Oh well, it will all work out in the end, just so glad to have these types of problems. Good luck.

Will only one more day of sleeping on the floor. Mattress delivery tomorrow. Even if the mattress is not perfect it will be so much better than what we have. Still loving it here even with the little bumps in the road we have now it will be all worth it.
